    First time Momma

    On Monday my doe Bonnie birthed a doeling that was identical to her, and I checked on here to see the size difference and there is an 8 pound difference in newborn weight! My baby pygmy weighs almost one pound and she fits in my hand! And she's really healthy and happy, that's just the normal...

    Surprise Baby!!! Need Advice

    Fourth day on Earth and she is the most excited baby I've ever seen. I put a small log in the pen and she loves to run and turn in circles and catapult off of the log. She is also VERY ticklish on her back and love love loves her head being scratched. Weird right? If you pet her back she squats...

    Worryingly Lethargic Goat

    I've had Bonnie since she was a few months old, and she is 5 and 1/2 now. Never been vaccinated but I'm supposed to be able to get eveyone in shortly. I am still very confused as if Addy is getting better or worse. She is eating but only whenever I feed her away from the others and if I set it...

    Surprise Baby!!! Need Advice

    Alright so baby has officially been named. I decided to call her Nonna. I FINALLY caught sight of her nursing, apparently Bonnie just likes her privacy haha. Nonna is starting to bounce around and be a bubbly little baby. Upon further investigation, she has blue eyes as of right now : ). I know...

    Worryingly Lethargic Goat

    I just posted her condition, and the others are doing fine. Bonnie is being a great mamma (this is her third baby, second living one) and she is nursing her when she needs it and coming when called. Scout seems great mentally and she is seeming like her normal bouncy self. However her vulva is...

    Worryingly Lethargic Goat

    I have been watching her condition and she seems to be doing better but not entirely, "all there". She still kind of aimlessly wandering around and is losing a bit of her appetite. However her head is no longer hanging and her overall physical condition is seeming better. Not sure about mental...

    Worryingly Lethargic Goat

    I don't have any money to get her to the vet, sadly, at least not anytime soon. Is there ANYTHING else that can be done?

    Surprise Baby!!! Need Advice

    Alright so at the moment Addy AND Bonnie and Baby need the vet. Just one goat will cost about 400 dollars. We don't have the money for that right now. Is there one I need to get in first? I went outside this morning and the baby was laying down but she was looking around, and she looked healthy...

    Worryingly Lethargic Goat

    A small amount of chicken feed could've been consumed yes but not a huge amount. No one has been checked for worms because everyone seems fine. She is eating small amounts at a time and is drinking A LOT. I haven't been with her enough recently to know if she's been passing correctly either, and...

    Worryingly Lethargic Goat

    My girl Addy is acting VERY strangely. Starting a few days ago she has been very slow to react, and almost like she doesn't know what's going on. She usually is very jumpy when any human gets close but she has been doing things like standing or laying in the same place for almost hours on end...

    Surprise Baby!!! Need Advice

    She is a beauty! I tried but the baby wouldn't nurse when we put her there. Perhaps she already ate before we got there? I got home and saw her walking around and she was completely cleaned already (Bonnie did an amazing job) so at least an hour had went by, maybe she already ate? Also terrible...

    Surprise Baby!!! Need Advice

    I left for town today and came back a few hours later to Bonnie who had a baby!! She was dry and healthy but I have NO IDEA if she nursed, and she keeps going over to look for the nipples and acts like she can't find them so I am very concerned. We can't milk enough to feed her off of since she...

    Addy's Settling In

    I think waiting such a length of time before putting her with the herd really helped out. Last night I let her in with the herd and the ate together from the same pan, and only once did Bonnie headbut Addy for a second before going back to eating, then she let Addy in beside her to eat. I think...

    Addy's Settling In

    Okay guys so I have a question. Warmer weather means the dogs move back outside, and I need the pen that Addy is staying in. It's been a few weeks and she is letting me pet her while she eats and she is a bit more trusting of me. Will I be able to move her in with the herd?

    Addy's Settling In

    Sorry, very few updates because of school but, alright guys. So I was a bit worried today because I forgot to close the gate and Addy got out. I thought she would dart but she just poked her nose around checking out these things she's never seen of the house. I let her poke around a bit before...
