They look like little bears. Baloo, Winnie, Wahb (all fictional bears)

You just confirmed a thought I had about setting up a second fence a mower's width inside the chain link. And letting goats browse the "moat" with supervision, to keep the vines at bay. That's my main reason behind getting goats besides that I love animals. I'm in my mid sixties, and some...

Thank you. The entire structure is covered with hardware cloth, including an 18"-24" apron. We have every predator here except bears, wolves, and bobcats. The tarps don't last long in zone 8a, so I put woven shade cloth over the tarps. It's keeping the back area dry, even in tropical storm...

I picked up a partial roll of coated (welded?) wire fencing at Habitat for Humanity. I used some for the door to my hoop coop. (during construction)

I see a sweetie. I've had several Tuxedo kitties over the years, none right now.

I have thousands of photos on my phone, stored on an SD card. There are wildlife/nature photos of spiders, lizards, flowers, etc. My pets, aquariums, ponds all have albums. Each chicken has its own album, but for group shots I have an album for that. :hide Over on BYC I documented my hoop coop...

Chicken pictures! I have bantams, most are Speckled Sussex. This handsome fella is Zacchaeus, he's not quite 6 months old. He's being a Good Roo to the hens. This is Silas, he's just 4 months old. His color is wrong so I cannot use him for breeding. Most of my hens, the black and white are...

Thank you. We get on average 48" of rain annually. It's probably why trees grow so tall as well. Would a couple strands of hot wire be enough for the GSDs?

I hired a man with a chainsaw to clear an overgrown garden of saplings. I specifically said "Do not go beyond these green stakes" (t posts). Yep, he did, and cut down my blueberry bushes. Then he sulked when I paid him because I also asked him why he couldn't follow simple instructions? I'd...

Thank you! I need tree guy to get rid of trees so I can have the fence repaired and THEN I can get goats. I've read conflicting information about fence height requirements for goats. My chain link is 4' tall. The neighbor on the west side also has chickens, two GSDs, and one yappy thing. They...

Backyard photos From the front, facing west. Compost area on left (rain barrels to be installed) Looking back, just past the compost barrel. Downed trees took out the fence along the left. I'm getting a tree "guy" to remove the trees and clear out the brush so I can have the damaged sections...

I have driven through the Blue Ridge area, did most of Shenandoah park, three times...boy do those mountains call to my heart. Dh and I planned on retiring to WV or eastern Kentucky, but that's not going to happen now, so we're staying here in the flat, wet, humid, and mosquito-infested area of...

Thank you! I found your thread about putting up fencing, working my way through the posts. So much to learn. I only have a third acre, but I am the last house on a dead end street, in a community that is very relaxed, no HOA! I checked the county website, don't see any regulations about...

Bless your heart, rough stuff often comes in clusters and you have my sympathy. :hugs I'm usually awake before six, but slept straight through until 8am! Started coffee, then woke up my dh. We had to book it to get to church on time. :caf

She does, except when she's sound asleep. I have pads on the floor jic. She's been a good dog, we can handle a little inconvenience for her sake. Here's Cleo with her bestie bud, Debbie.

I added a more appropriate photo for my avatar. They're not mine, I am goatless, but hopefully in the next few months I can add my own picture. The photo is of my first goat acquaintances, from about 1989. My daughter's friend lived with her mom on a mini farm. I can't recall their names but...

My geriatric dog woke me at 3:30 am for a piddle walk. Went back to bed, it felt good to sleep in. Coffee is ahhh.

I'm fuzzi, from eastern NC. I have a small yard with gardens and bird feeders and ponds (100 gallon each). A couple years ago I got back into chickens after a 30 year hiatus. But I want goats. I got to know goats a little, back when my children were small, at a friend's mini-farm. I milked...
