Hey Suburban Farmer, we're the City Art Farm down in the Columbia City area with 3 fiber goats, 10 chickens, 2 cats, 1 dog, and a snake on about a third acre. I find the straw and hay just absorb any moisture, hold it, and turn into a big stinky mat which can't be mixed around like the...
I use the DL method for the coop and only clean it once a year. Stir up the old stuff then add more shavings and diatomaceous earth when it gets stinky. I hate the straw or hay which doesn't seem to work as well.

We have a one year old Angora doe and her horns have begun to delaminate, the layers of her horn are peeling. Is this something to worry about? She gets goat pellets, hay, variety of plants, salt lick, mineral lick.
Is this a form of scours? What's up?
