It is a type of green bean but I can’t snap them. They don’t taste bad but just not as good as the other.

Ah, yes, that’s probably the case. Well, my chickens will like them. Nothing goes to waste around here. 😀

Thank you! I looked on the internet and I think it’s just a different kind of green bean. I know I only used seeds labeled green beans. Lol! I treated her for meningeal worms and she is 99% better. 🥰

I have a corn and green bean garden. Here’s a few seconds video of it. https://youtube.com/channel/UCZ3IUKYvyBLVQ3Y6nDnsoOw. I am harvesting green beans but I’ve ended up with some kind of extra bean among the bush beans. Those plants are sending out vines that act like they want to climb...

You certainly are busy! Congratulations on the new baby! Where do you live? I have a kicker too. I bought some hobbles from Caprine Supply. They aren't expensive and work very, very well.

Do you think it's necessary to lock them in at night? I have two LGD and nothing comes inside the fence now. I'm not sure how my Great Pyrenees will do with geese or ducks, but I thought I could isolate them where the dogs could see them and let them out a little at a time while I am there to...

Good info! Thanks! I am going to consider this.

I’m reading about them now. I’ve also got to see how I get my Great Pyrenees to accept them. My chickens are in a coup with a large fenced in chicken yard. They are protected with fence attached to the chicken coop. I even have wire on the top. Chicken hawks are a problem here too.

Thanks! That's an awesome pond. It will work.

That's amazing. I'm seriously considering this. What about chicken hawks? I've lost so m any chickens to chicken hawks that I can't allow my chickens to free range. Do you think hawks would get the ducks? That's a great idea. We got the 2 goats in September of last year and the 2 Great...

Yes! Jasmine is running and jumping and actually playing now. She is 99% better. I've read about the wormers becoming non effective because the parasites get resistant. It's a bad problem to have, especially with the meningeal worms. Our oldest son has taken 5 bucks off our property for the...

I've never heard of those kind of ducks. Wouldn't they need a pond or some kind of water to go to?

Hey, I'm a newbie to all this too, but I've read that when they move to a new place they can get under stress. I'd maybe consider all stated by Alaskan Herd Master and also give some vitamin B gel. You can't overdose them on that and just like us, it's good for stress. I'd probably throw in a...

Update on Jasmine: I know for sure, now, that my problem has been meningeal worms in both the momma (Sadie Rose) and her twin doe, Jasmine. I have finished treating them all for that worm, and Jasmine is doing super great, now. I can detect a slight off balance in her back legs once in a...

You’re last comment has me laughing. Thanks! Ah, and I’m glad you cleared that up about the Replamin. I thought that was only vitamin E. We’ll, I take consolation in the fact that all my goats are alive and this has been a good education.

I am giving 1% ivermectin (liquid) all of them 1 cc per 55 pounds for 3 days and 4.6 cc per 100 pounds of safeguard for 5 days. I decided to give the ivermectin in the morning and safe guard in the evening. The only exception to this is the one who is showing the symptoms of meningeal worms...

Thanks for making me feel not so dumb asking a dumb question. I’ve already treated the young doe and what I read said I should assume the others have been exposed so do a preventative treatment using ivermectin in liquid form for 3 days followed by 5 days of sage guard.

Ok. This is probably a dumb question but I am wondering if I give the three day ivermectin and then start the safeguard and continue it for five days or do I do them simultaneously? This is a vigorous treatment for meningeal worms.

I agree totally. I am trying to find someone within a reasonable drive that sells something like orchard plus a mix of grasses, or coastal bermuda or something mixes with alfalfa but it's difficult here because I am basically in a metro area. I'm still looking though.

Yes they are!
