I went out to check on my new babies and saw they had a lot of yellow poop stuck all over their butts and legs. I cleaned it all off. Is their any medicine I need to give them?

I wonderful lady gave me an adult dwarf nigerian doe. We thought she just had some amazing love handles. Until we went to let her out this morning! Two beautiful new babies! I will post pictures as soon as I can! :weee ****POSTED PICS ON PAGE 2 FINALLY****

I got a new doeling about a week and a half ago. I noticed some coughing and now she has green dried mucus in the corners of her eyes. I also noticed mucus-y discharge from her vulva area. I haven't checked for a temp yet as I do not have a rectal thermometer yet. She seems to be acting fine...

Do to extenuating circumstances I have a registered Dwarf Nigi doe, whether, and their LGD that needs a new home. The puppy is a still intact 6 month old pure bred GP and is well on her way to becoming a wonderful protector. I'd like to keep the trio together and am only asking a small re-homing...

SILLY SARGE!!!! :lau

I talked to the lady I got my Nigis from and she suggested 15 bales for all winter. She said 10 might be enough but to get 15 to be on the safe side. For those that were wondering.

I have to or they sleep on the deck and my boyfriend isn't happy with all the little chocolate chips they leave up there. :rolleyes:

I have a doe that I plan on breeding in Oct/Nov a whether who is currently about four months old, and I am on a waiting list to get a doeling this Nov/Dec. They are all Dwarf Nigerians. How many square bales of hay will I need to get me thru the winter?

I built a milking stand wide enough for me to sit on the side while I trim so I don't have to bend over while I do it.

The lady I bought my goats from uses hoof trimmers then finishes up with a drimmel. I'm a big chicken and was afraid I'd cut too deep and injure a hoof or a paw (that's why I use them for the dogs too). It does take a little longer but I only have two goats. Since the lady I got them from used...

I'm just going to use a drimmel. It's what I use for my dogs nails too. :hu

boards for the legs are only 14" plus approx. 2" more for the platform boards. So, really only about 16" off the ground. You could easily adjust this height to what would work for you.

I have minimal carpentry experience and found this was super easy to make. The only thing I had trouble with was finding the #20 machine screw. Not because it was hard to locate but there is SO many different kinds of screws, nuts, bots, etc. But a helpful man at the hardware store was more than...

That's what I was going to suggest. I've been thinking about getting one of those for my goats.

I second Roll Farms. She is in Marion and I believe she has Nubians. I've had nubian milk. Tastes just like whole cow's milk.

1. Print instructions from fiascofarm.com 2. Go to local home improvement store to get materials 3. Set up tools and measure boards 4. Shoo away goats from work area 5. Go get another tool from garage 6. Come back and chase down goat to get back pages of instructions they have ran off with...

I used Chirpy's idea. It works great and was so easy to make! I have three coops and built one for each. Sgt. Pepper (my whether turd) can't get in there. I thought hanging my feeder higher was working until I walked into the coop one day and saw my doe standing on the roost :rolleyes: My feed...

I just hung the feeder up higher and put in another roost. Seems to be working just fine. If I made the gap small enough to keep the kid out it was too small for the chickens to get in. Goats can't fly so putting it higher seemed like the thing to do. :D

They ate all of the food! :he P.S. they are Nigerian Dwarf and one is still a kid.

I read someone did this for sheep would it work for goats too?
