Well I thought I'd give an update on Duck. He's growing, though still behind his twin. Holding his own with the other kids in the pasture, though not as lively. Other than his "goat sweater" he not getting any special treatment. On cold or sunny days, he eats, plays for a little while and...

Only thing known is its twin was normal. The mom was bought at an auction. My friend has bought it a doggie sweater, LOL. I have an idea that if weather becomes a problem, Duck will be brought into the house. They were thinking genetics also. They were talking about line breeding to see if...

Well Duck (as in ulgy duckling) is about 6 weeks old and growing. He's not quite as active as his brother who seems completely normal. There's no sign of goiter on him or his mother (who was pregnant when bought, kidded 4 days after purchase). Biggest problem he seems to have is the sun...

I bought a very poor goat to help clean up around here. She was doing a great job and beginning to get fat (I thought). Heard her bleat and went to check on her, she had a doe kid that's problably only 3-4 hours old. I've raised a little of everything but haven't been around goats for 40...
