Aw thanks guys! Nice to get compliments from other goat people. I mean of course the neighbors are enthralled...but that's because city goats are somewhat of a rarity...though they are becoming ever more popular!!!
More photos, because I can...and because my facebook friends are starting to...
This was both of our first times! The kids are 2 weeks old now and so cute!
Twin bucklings though :( Was hoping for girls! We'll have to say goodbye to these cuties...we're a very small urban farm and can't really justify keeping a whether, as much as I'd love to...because these of course are...
I'm kinda freaking out!!!
I have a teeny little urban farm with two nigerian dwarf girls. One is going to kid within the next couple days I think! It's our first time. I think we're ready but man I'm nervous!
Oh the opportunity to GUSH about my girls? Who me?!
My ex boyfriend always thought it was funny when I'd pocket dial him while putting my girls to bed...singing to them, speaking to them in spanish...meeeeeeehing back at them...ai! I'm a crazy goat lady for sure, and completely unapologetic...
tips on getting a difficult goat to stay still?!
My girls are so sweet and love us so much, cuddlebugs to the extreme, but touch their hoofs and they are kickin all over the place!!! One of them is pregnant so I don't want to be wrestling her to the ground but I need to trim sooo badly.
Got...
My first time breeding my girls!! So...how do I know if it worked?
My goats were at the breeder's place for the past 2 weeks. She said they stood, and the male was uninterested in them after breeding...good signs yes?
I thought I had timed everything right...but now Little is showing signs...
Most of our neighbors LOVE us!
We're a cute little urban farm in a pretty metro/hip area. Our house is situated on the back of our lot, so the goats and ducks hang out in the front. Our two does are super cute and super friendly...so our place is essentially a petting zoo. People are...
I love this thread. My girls were just bred and should be kidding in November if all went well. Nice to read what I can expect when it's my turn...
Cute goaties ya got there!!! Hang in there! Can't wait for the happy ending to this saga! and pictures of course!!!

I'll try putting it by their water for now, until I'm able to figure out a way to get minerals. Feed store won't special order for me. They're terribly overpriced anyway...yuppie answer to a true feed store in city limits...
and yes, goats are on a grain feed formulated for...
I'm in a very urban area and the feed stores near me don't have loose minerals available...so I went with a salt lick. My girls have really enjoyed CLIMBING on it, but I can't seem to get them to use it. Any ideas?
Would drive 45 minutes to another feed store, but I work a normal schedule and...
Aaaah! No pictures yet, but believe me I'm working on it.
They are the cutest little things...one of them is the most miniature miniature. I'm afraid she might be too small to breed even as I've never seen a buck that small...Anyone have a teeny tiny buck? Wanna make some teacup goats? lol...
Hi hi!
New to the forums! New to the goat world, but have been DREAMING of this day for years!
I'm purchasing two Nigerian Dwarf does tonight! Yearlings! And man are they cuties! I guess I just wanted to share my excitement with some folks who can be excited with me. Most of my friends think...
