I'll ask if I can order some to keep on hand. Thanks!

Thank you everyone! Just got back from the vet. They gave him two injections (anti-inflammatory/fever reducer & antibiotic) I give him another dose in two days. Thanks for all the quick advice I really appreciate it!!!

Behavior is the same as everyone else. Eating drinking, playing etc.

104.5 - what do I do??

We got 3 - 8 week old wethers yesterday. On the way home they pushed aside their bedding and peed all over themselves. It was about 36 degrees when we got home. We toweled them off and sat with them with a space heater until they were dry. Also gave them a warm bottle of milk/water. Noticed the...

These are pet wethers so I won't be drinking anything that they may produce! ;) I get your point though!

Great! Thank you so much. I just wanted to make sure having it in the feed wouldn't be harmful later on. I will definitely be watching my goats and checking their stools several times a year. :) Thanks again for the clarification!

Ok. So having it in the food everyday is good? Just want to be sure. :) thanks!

Getting goats on the 23rd and I am just trying to get my last few questions answered before they arrive! :) I've been reading not to over medicate for worms (in other words don't give it unless they need it) so you don't end up with resistant parasites, but the Noble Goat Grower that I had...

Oh my word! Not until I saw the last post did it dawn on me to say that our door would be a slider. Therefore we can make it any width we want, just have to get the height right! I still may have to use some sort of a baffle but I think I have a lot of info to work with now. The link provided...

I posted the same question on a chicken forum and got an idea to make the corner type thing or a blockade of sorts. It can't be permanent though since we would trip over it and it wouldn't allow us to enter the chicken coop since the hole will be cut into the "human" door. Good to know they...

We are finishing up our goat shed/chicken coop. The building is split to give each species their seperate space. We are thinking of making a chicken door into the interior human door. This will enable the chickens to exit the building via the goat side of the building. We want to have an opening...

My husband gets all upset if there is a teeny tiny mistake that no one can see, he knows it's there though and it frustrates him. I tell him it's just going to get pooped or chewed on but that doesn't seem to help! :) I am grateful for my tall strong hubby! Glad to see that there are more like him.

My strong tall hubby of course! LOL I think I'll store it in the garage just to be safe and it will be one less thing my hubby has to build into the shed. :) THANKS!

That all sounds like heaven to me! Currently we have a guinea pig, hedgehog, 3 snakes, 2 lizards, and a tortoise. I have owned many other critters in the past and currently work at a veterinary hospital (anything to get my animal fix!) We are getting 15 chicks the first week in May and 3...

Thank you Mamaboid & Pearce Pastures! My hubby will be thrilled that he was right (it doesn't happen very often ;)! The goat shed is raised off the ground about a foot and a half with a ramp leading into the shed. So dirt floor is not possible. Good to know on the baking soda, I was skeptical...

Our three nigerian dwarf boys will be arriving in mid-April! I'm getting very excited and can't wait to have them here. I just was hoping someone could double check what I'm planning on feeding them and how I plan to store the food and the feeding containers I'm using and give my pointers if...

Thanks so much for all the input and suggestions! :)

Thanks. I did stop into my agency and asked about Selenium and didn't think to ask about copper! Duh! I will give them a call :)

The subject says it all! I know we are selenium deficient here in Southern NH, but how can I find out the copper levels? I've been googling and can't seem to find the answer! Thanks! Nicole
