She had numerous seizures all night and passed this morning:(
These were the first ever babies that we bred ourselves and I just can't believe we lost them both after 4 months!
I'm so heartbroken :(
They were doing so great! Hubby called me while I was away yesterday and said that both kids were dying (wouldn't get up, cold, heads back and to the side of their bodies. We got them to the vet but didn't have high hopes. The vet said temps were 98. They got them warmed up and put them on iv...
My 10 week old buckling has diarrhea (greenish brown). His but was clean this morning but when I went to put him, mom, and sister in the barn this evening
His bum was filthy with watery sticky diarrhea! Mom and sister are having normal poos. Could this be caused by letting them out all day in...
I have no idea what breeds produced these 3 goats lol.
This is Sawyer... he is so tiny!
Junebug
Jersey
Both does are just slightly taller than my pygmies. The buck is smaller.
I'm posting this late...they were born April 10th. Miss Emma had 2 adorable Fainting kids . A buckling and a doeling!
Here they are today at 6 wks.
Buckling.....
Doeling....
We are remodeling our goat barn and want to add more stalls in order to have more separation pens. What would you say is a minimum size stall for 5 pygmy goats? Just trying to figure out how to break up the space to fit a good amount of seperate areas.
How adorable ! Congrats :) I love the smile on mama's face in the pic lol. Cold weather always makes me crazy with worry...but I'm learning that they can handle temps that seem unbearable to us! Good luck with the little one :)
Got these adorable little Pygmy girls today ( I had baby goat fever lol ) they are 7 & 8 wks old. Do they look like PB Pygmies? Is this old enough to be weaned or should I try to bottle feed?
Indoor goat pen lol.
Anyone have name suggestions???
Yeah I figured they were mixes..do you think Savannah is too?
Also would you have a guess at age of the buck?
Here is the pic u requested....
By the way I'd love to see pics of your pygmies and mixes:)
OK great! Thanks for the replies:)
So if they don't eat much grass is it safe to assume that the pasture will stay green? Or will they eventuallykill all the grass? :)
I've been trying to figure out if my goat area is ok for them. I read a lot about browse and plants and brush ect...but my goat "pasture" is just a fenced in half acre of my yard....not a field just green lawn (and some weeds). Is this ok for them? They get hay and grain of course but don't have...
Okay I got some pics of the new additions:) sorry the pics are kinda crappy.
This is Sawyer the little buck....he is supposedly 1.5 yrs old. We measured him at 14" today. He looks younger to me.
This is Jersey she is 2 yrs. I'm positive she is not pregnant because she acted as though she was...
Thanks so much for all the info everyone :). We got them home and they seem to be doing great! I will have to post pics tomorrow once they settle in a bit more. They are sooooo cute ( and very tiny) the buck is only about 13". The girls don't really look pregnant to me but hubby says he...
Yay I cant wait to get pics up! I'm counting on some educated guesses :) I'm excited to get them home. I realy don't even care if they end up being mixes (you never know lol) I'm sure you will be able to tell since you breed pygmys. He told me that one is blk and white like a cow... can...
