Hello, how is your mare? I unfortunately have two mares with heaves, but actually we have it managed quite well, even to the point where I still barrel race them. For a while we steamed our hay in a homemade steamer built by a husky tool box with a hose attaching a wallpaper steamer. We could...
what else should I put in the kit? Im thinking a heat lamp, a hairdryer, towels, gloves, and probably some bottles and things for bottle babies. I know if I leave the kids on the does they can pass something to the kids although I dont remember exactly what its called. The does I have also have...
someone once said to get a kid puller or something so I wouldnt ever need it lol, where should I get one? Thanks for your help. Ive heard of a great vet who specializes in goats and pigs I think.
Unfortunately I do not know exactly when or with what they were wormed. I have never wormed a goat and feel extremely unprepared now. What brand should I use? I have horses so I have their dewormers, i cant remember the brand off the top of my head, oh wait it may be ivermectin zimectrin gold or...
I seriously am concerned. I took her temp two days ago with help from others and it was 100.3F This morning Ruby our other goat was coughing this morning a bit but then she stopped. Should i have a vet out? they are eating and drinking normally.
If they only are getting two ducks, and one or both of them are males they could easily turn to the chickens. I have successfully kept male ducks with chickens before, but they had plenty of female ducks as well. I'm just trying to warn them of the possibilities so they are prepared.
Do not keep male ducks with female chickens since they can kill them if they try to mate with them. I also would like to warn you that heavier breeds like pekins and rouens can have quite a few of leg issues since they are larger. I personally suggest cayugas, indian runners, and khaki campbells
I dont have much time but basically we got goats about 2 months ago. They are toggenburg does and are Delilah (2 years old) and Ruby (3 years old). They are both pregnant and are due in march. I plan to have them as milk goats They have been doing great. I'm brand new to goats so am nervous now...
We are in the lower mitten. Great idea! I already have tons of extra heat lamps and I have blow dryer for barn use already so thats perfect! Would I get all those tests done by a vet obviously? I figured coyotes would try. I will definitely figure out a more secure solution. Thank you very much.
Thank you soooo much!!! This is a ton of really awesome information! I live in Michigan, I just moved to a newer area in the country and the neighbors say the winters can be kinda harsh since its mostly open fields. One quick question, the coyotes have been heard quite loudly lately, I want to...
