Good day y’all. Got hay up in the hay rack, corn down. I have a duck with plastic netting caught around his mouth but I can’t manage to catch him. Perhaps I’ll be able to tonight. Poor guy.

Enjoy your patch of dry!

It is so wet! It’s been raining since last night and my yard is now mostly puddle. Ducks are happy, but I need to pull out some galoshes! The goats are doing well with their shelters, but I have a feeling we’re going to have a bad winter so I really want to get another one or two boxes out there...

Get at least two goats so they don’t get lonely, and they’ll have less reason to escape. Also, if it’s just weed control and sell then think about maybe some older goats, sometimes the more mature goats are sold because they’re mischievous but sometimes it’s because they’re too old to breed or...

We bought the stuff to make our own because it was cheaper...I forgot I’m bad at sewing and they broke. Now if I have a sick goat or anything I just put a dog collar on them to make them easier to catch. I will probably redo the collars, but haven’t yet. Just make them so they can break if they...

You can spot clean her area, but don’t do a total turn over for a day or two at least. You don’t want to stress her. I know you already have it figure out, but if someone else is reading this: when and doubt you can iodine both. Congrats on the baby!

You need to get thouroughly familiar with this point to make labor worth it, at least that’s what I’ve heard from every mom I know. But, it’s the greatest pain that will be forgotten the quickest.

Good evening y’all. Small update, I passed my school test. Which means all I have to do is pass the state’s test. Which will be a whole lot harder! I’ll get back to the books tomorrow. The rabbit’s eyes are clearing up for no discernible reason, and she’s eating and drinking about four times...

Happy thanksgiving!!!

I’m sorry, this is off topic, but do LGDs seriously protect your birds from eagles? I’m asking because every year we have a hawk come and nest in a tree right across the road (different hawks) and while my geese do fantastic I still get concerned over my birds.

I’ve actually sold birds and gotten store bought chicken. 5 birds could get 10-12 store bought chickens that were, quite frankly, larger and better for eating. It’s unfortunate about not being able to compete with mass producers, but it’s good that we have them imo.

Maybe my mama just raised me different, but I agree. 6am is much too early to just call.

Awesome thank you! I keep my corn sacks but didn’t think about using them for this. Really on the black ones? I think the black birds are pretty, but I was just going for something that lays, maybe I can get both in one. 🥰

I’m getting 70$ for the lot today! I was wrong, I have a bunch of people wanting to buy lol. The pit of my stomach drops thinking about getting rid of that many hens...but I need to. 9 girls and 1 boy, I only have 27 total right now. And four are roosters that have earned their place. I want to...

I know I know, you have an amazing ram to brag about while we all suffer through buck stank. It’s ok...you just enjoy not smelling like a skunk over there whilst we scrub our skin off😂😂. Seriously though, I’ve read about Ringo and you’ve got something great with him.

I’ve never heard of this, but I’m going to save it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

What worked for us was actually introducing more goats. Our new goats had come from a herd of 40 some we were told and were super socialized (one was a bottle baby) they taught our other goats how to behave and when we reintroduced our currently separate herds they did fine with barely any...

My buck used to pee on me. I learned conditioner was my friend, for some reason it really helps! It will get it out of your hair and it will help get it off your skin too. Honestly can’t remember which one , something cheap because you’ll need a decent amount. Most people didn’t even know I had...

Yawn. How are y’all this evening? It feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day...the fact that it’s fall may have something to do with that. It’s hard to believe, I keep wondering where my summer went?! Had to get straw and tried to get feed troughs. The store had plants for a dollar...

Okay, so still studying today. First exam is on the 23rd after I pass that test I have another (state) test. All coming up very very shortly. My good friend had her sixth baby today. I am so excited for her! Today I picked up straw for the winter, finished my hay rack and filled it. I wanted to...
