Just an old scrap of tin, I will be making a better "roof" for it today. I'll post a pic when I'm done.
I have a nice piece of Steel siding left over from another project that I'm going to use.
Just made a new hay feeder for the goats, it has a nice spot for the grain as well. I think it turned out pretty well. I need to make a decent roof to put on it, I just slapped some scrap tin over it for now. here are a few pics.
I used mostly scrap 2x4's. the entire job took probably 2 and a...
So, we got a goat block at TSC and put it in with the goats, they weren't sure what to do with it.. so I guess the best option is to climb on it and jump?

Howdy,
We are on the inner banks, in little Washington (due east of Greenville)
We have 15 Chickens, Delawares and Easter Eggers
2 Pekin Ducks
2 goats, we just got them 2 weeks ago, they are Boer/something small mixes. We will be looking to add some new ND's in the near future.
here are the...
I'm pretty new to goats as well, the learning curve isn't that bad if you are used to chickens ( I have 15 chickens with 2 broodys sitting on eggs) We have only had ours for 2 weeks, they are Boer/something small mixes, mom and dad are 90 lbs and 100 lbs respectively. We have them in a rather...

We are having a family disagreement as to what to name them...
Thanks for that post. We haven't gotten the feed or minerals yet, I wanted to check with the experts first. Glad I did. =)
on a side note, they should really merge this site and BYC.. I feel like a newbie over here hehe
We have been wanting goats for a while now, Last week, my neighbor said his daughter had some kids that she needed to get rid of, and I of course could not refuse. they are a mix breed, unsure of their lineage, but they are miniature (Mom is 90 pounds, Billy is about 110) she had twins, a...
only 18 sq ft for a pair! okay =) I was worried, I was planning on building at least a 20'x40' building, and was worried it wouldn't be big enough. seems like it will be way more than enough for 3 Dwarf Nigerians.
their "pen" will be about 180'x 60' with their building inside it. I was...
I am still thinking Dwarf Nigerian.
Our winters are usually mild (in Eastern NC)
I was wanting to lock them in at night,
I try to be generous on space, like for my chickens, they have a coop and run that they are in all the time, except for when I am in the garden. then while I am out and...
Thanks for the replies everyone =)
we had been talking about ND's for quite a while, then a few weeks ago, I saw some mini nubian pictures, they are just so darn cute, the long floppy ears, and roman nose... very good looking animals. When comparing them , the Nd produces a bit more milk and/or...
