Interesting, thanks guys! His mom is the little spotted Doe in the 3rd picture. she has brown and black markings, very pretty little girl. Makes sense though, because with her second kidding her babies looked exactly like he did when they were born but I noticed one had started to turn brown...

my young buck looks like he's in need of copper or has some nutritional/vitamin deficiency, but they all have minerals available AND I copper bolused everyone a few months ago. Everyone else looks fine, he looks not great. Is there something that could block copper absorption? They all eat the...

Temp was right at 102 I know for some reason I was worried about UC but hes peeing ok with no straining. He's been ok today - playing, eating and flirting with the girls - so I'm more confused than ever...2 days ago he was on his deathbed

Ok. I'll check into all of that. No selenium given...with it being the Christmas weekend, plus is being so far from everything, it's been hard to get what we need. Not sure about his heart other than my vet saying everything sounded fine heart&lung wise. He's not doing too well today. Just...

And he's usually (not always, but usually) ok until he starts moving/running/flirting with the girls....then the coughing becomes downright incapacitating

I'm in Eastern TN Barn is large and dry, not very dusty. Not a marshy area...field with good drainage. Goats usually stay in the barn until around 12pm so they don't see a lot of the morning slugs. When the coughing began the Vet advised to dose with ivermectin, which I did 2x 10 days...

My 1.5yo buck has been coughing for about 3 weeks. It's NOT lungworm and it's NOT pneumonia so I'm looking for other suggestions. Temp normal, blood count normal (RBC, WBC and platelet), no runny nose or leaking eyes. Any ideas?

Nowhere around here has All Flock with a protein content below 18% I can get layer feed with 16%, but I have drakes too, and don't want them getting too much calcium. My original thought process was to go with the layer feed because I have more girls than boys, and this way not everyone was...

Yyyeah, maybe not lol. It's so cold in NC...49° when I left work this morning. What a Summer.

Thanks for the quick responses yall! Development does not begin until incubation, correct?

My duck laid her 1st egg yesterday (yay). So, now I'm wondering...if I leave an egg sitting on my counter for a few days (7 days max) before incubation, with no heat or extra care, will it still be able to hatch? And if at the time of candling, I find there's no development, is the egg still...

I thought I replied already but I guess I hadn't. I did soak it and was able to pull the plug out. She basically has a hole through her foot where it was on the webbing and it was so thin. Doesn't seem to bother her at all though.

I found Epsom salt at the dollar store and have done that for the past 3 days (morning and evening) but have seen no change yet. I guess my main reason for wondering if blu-kote would be ok is because she refuses to eat if she's not with her flock and I had to put her outside for a night, I...

Noticed this morning that My lady duck has bumblefoot. :( Want to know if blu kote is ok to use on it at all? I have no vetericyn. At this point I'm just going to use Neosporin just in case. Also, can I use regular table salt instead of Epsom for her foot soak?

Thank you

Mary (my ND/Pygmy doe) busted out of the barn twice to come down to the house...yelling for me the entire time. This is uncharacteristic for her, but she's very pregnant (unsure of due date) so I figured it was best to bring her inside and watch her while I got ready for work. She popped a...

I think she's at around 84 days, But I can't be certain as there are 2 other possibilities. Aside from our escape artist wether, we've had insane wind that has knocked our gate open TWICE. I just wasn't sure how likely a false/precocious udder would be. Mostly because I'm paranoid and don't...

Yay I'm so excited!

Thank you, she's my baby! She's bred to a Nigerian. Accidental breeding because my whether is especially good at opening everyone's gates and matchmaking... I've been a little worried because she's so petite and a little young (11 months) but the buck isn't huge so fingers are crossed
