    Speaking of chicken breeds, if anyone is interested in buying crested polish chicks make sure you have them in a pen with netting over it unless you are outside with them when they are out. Lost too many of them to hawks because they could not see past their crest. But they are so cute.

    What is my buck goat

    Can I see yours? I am now trying to decide what mine are. I was told they were mini silkys but the starter of the breed said my first doe looked like a pygmy. So I am now trying to figure out what my buck is.

    For an impacted crop mineral oil or another like it works wonders. Drop the oil down throat, massage until good and soft, more oil if needed.
