I'm so sorry. It's funny how easily you can get attached to a chicken, isn't it? Same with a certain goose or turkey, guinea, or whatever. They have personalities. People think it is funny and look at you like you are a weirdo unless they have had their own poultry when you start talking about...

She obviously has/had mastitis in that one side. I would do a CA mastitis test strip to see if it is still an issue, and if so, get some injectable antibiotics for her. My guess would be that she is still infected on that side. After she has her next kidding, you should see a better response in...

You shouldn't use ivermectin in cats, BTW.

I use One drop per five lbs for tiny dogs. It's pretty safe, so you don't have to be terrified when using a drop from a 1cc syringe. You do realize you give this orally, rather than injecting it? I have heard some people say they inject, but it's easier just to drop on a piece of cheese.

They look like a pyr/poodle mix to me. GP have the fluffy white hair, but it looks tighter. They also have a wider nose. I've never seen any or our pyrs that looked so "loose" in the hair. They are more like qtips.

We milked ours a few times. They make a lot of milk for such tiny goats, but it is hard work. Two fingers and a thumb, and it takes a looonnnnngggggg time. We would get about 24oz out of a good goat, sometimes up to a quart twice a day . It really wasn't worth the effort, in my opinion. I...

She has nubian ears and an alpine face with that white stripe. Her hips look dairy goat not meat goat at all.

I have 3 Great Pyrenees and a St. Bernard. The GP are wonderful dogs, never hurt anything or anyone. They bark all night and dig big holes though. They take their guarding job seriously. The St. is more interested in the poultry, but doesn't chase them. She is friendly towards strangers while...

I get goats at farm auctions all the time. Weathers go for about ten dollars or less. I saw a boer billy baby go for five last Wed. If you just want them to keep pasture down, I would suggest you simply go to a sale barn to get some. I have some beautiful oberhasli does that I bought for...

They kind of look like baby boer goats, don't they? I know very little about sheep, but they are beautiful.

Nubians give the most milk simply because they are the largest milking breed. They have the highest fat content. I am not fond of nubian milk because it tastes stronger to me. But many people love it. Oberhaslis have the very best temperament of all milk goats, although that can vary by...

The first picture, red goat, is an oberhasli. They are my favorite breed of milk goat. Oberhasli goats are everyone's friend. I love the temperament. The second picture the gray one is pygmy. The white one is a pygmy mix, probably with alpine. Is there a dorsal stripe at all? If not, then...

I go to goat sales (auctions) dozens of times a year. You rarely see very young goats there, and they are usually sold with the nanny. Your best bet would be to get a pregnant nanny and take the kid off her to bottlefeed right after birth. I even milk out the colostrum rather then letting the...
