How do you like your Nigerian Dwarf Goats? I want a couple when we move. Thanks. I have had Pygmys in the past but I like the look of the NDG and thought I'd give them a try. Thanks
My first, Ruby lived 6 years and finally died of liver failure. My second, KC lived 4 years and died of Cardiomyopathy. My vet said I kept her living a good life longer than any of his other patients with CM. As I said, I think there is a certificate of longevity so they can be checked early...
I still NEED a DP in my life again after all these years. I will guard her with my life ! I just wished they lived longer. Now, I think there is a longevity certificate breeders can get. I want them to live longer than 4-5 years which is when I lost my two and it tore a hole in my heart...
I just adore Doberman Pinchers. I have had 2 in my life and they were wonderful as companions. I was wondering if anyone out here has ever used DP for guarding chickens, ducks, or goats ? I don't want a long haired dog. I am into DP. I would love to have one on my farm I am buying. They...
Awesome, worn out word but that's what comes to mind. How neat and simple. Those French Lops, my husband loves rabbits so I guess that will be on my list. No Chickens ? Love it all and so excited to start making my list. Thank you again.:bow
Can anyone tell me if they have 1/2 acre hobby farm what you have on your farm ? I know 1/2 acre is not much but mainly want a few chickens zoning ok, maybe a couple pygmy goats with proper fencing, a couple of rabbits? A duck....Is this too much ???? If it is leave out the rabbits, and duck...
What would that cost ? Cyotes (spelling) couldn't get to the goats then right ? Do they climb if they want something bad enough ? I will put motion sensor lights there too.Thank you so much
Now my husband and I are going back and forth wondering how much it will cost to get solid sides and make it a really nice barn? Any ballpark figures out there ? Is there a building forum on here ? Could go to chicken coops:ep
It is a true pole barn. It states that in the description of the property. I was raised in the country and know it is not a shed LOL I will try to send a pic if I can figure it outl
Well, we finally found a really nice piece of property in FL. It has a pole barn on the property. What can I do with a pole barn ? It has no sides to keep predators out and certainly not suitable for chickens. It seems a waste to have a nice sturdy barn with no sides or door ? Can anyone...
Do LGD's have to be so darn big ???????????? I just want a few chickens and Pygmy Goats, ducks, etc. Isn't there a smaller dog to guard my little flock of animals ?
Hi, I just want small pygmy/dwarf goats just for my pleasure. I love them. Used to have Pygmy Goats. What about the Dwarf Nigerian ? Which breed is the most fun ? I will have plenty of toys for them and me as well for the to play and romp with. Males, females ? I want to bottle feed as...
Thanks jhm47, I am in KY so we get our fair share of rain. Here lately it has done NOTHING but rain but can't always count on that. Sounds like you have a wonderful zoo. Enjoy life.:weee
I am looking to buy a farm and there is one I found that has 9 acres of pasture on it. I do know about animals and cattle and such but just have not "grown" any. My question is how many head of cattle can I put on 9 acres in the summertime when the grass is good. Hay is another thing I guess...
