This past winter we had a couple of mink take out all the lady amherst pheasants I had hatched out that spring, plus the parents. The jerks then took out 28 of 34 chickens. Just before that, we lost our last doe goat and her brothers got sick all fall and winter. We finally got that under...

I was hoping that's all it was. I swear, these kids are giving me more grey hairs than my two legged ones.

I have a pair of ND kids that are 8 months old. The doeling has started rolling on the ground like a dog does when there is something especially smelly there. She lays down like goats do, then lays flat on her side and finally rolls onto her back and other side. Sometimes it looks like she is...

Here are some updated pics: This is Rayzor and Mom Penelope. Charlotte checking out the hay bag. Rayzor and Charlotte checking out the snow. They're a week old and already eating hay and drinking water. And when I leave the pen, they call to me. Too cool.

I need to post updated pics. His ears are fine now, both up. As for cold, the next few days will be in the +20s, nights around 0. They were born in sub-zero weather. I was just worried about letting them out with the wind chill being so low.

I'm out in the country as well. I've got DSL though. I didn't want to run wires everywhere, that's why I went wireless. But if you want to hardwire your cameras, I would go with a CCTV set up. They have some very affordable systems on Amazon. I know they have all the parts you need for whatever...

I checked a third time...definitely a boy and girl. We named the boy Rayzor(right). But the girl is giving me trouble. Normally they tell me what to name them. My husband wants to name her Shelby. I'm thinking Bogo. But I just don't know. Another question...when can I let them outside all day...

I got a signal repeater for the same reason; my needs were 200' with a router that only covered 125'. I will be getting a new one that is POE powered and has a range of 1.5 miles. That should get me to every out structure on the property. Then I can add more cameras.

I should clarify a tad. I did check out the genders as I was drying them off, but I was so excited by what was going on, I waited until today to double check. This time I brought my glasses with me. I had the same thought as Goat whisperer, boy on the right and girl on the left. I mean, mammals...

We have been waiting for the pregnant Nigerian doe we bought in October to have her kids. She was due two or three weeks ago. She finally had twins last night, in the middle of a snow storm. Everything went well. I took these pictures today, about 20 hours after the fact. No names yet. I'm not...

Most wireless cameras work through line of sight. Even though obstructions will lower signal strength, it should be good enough to get a good picture 100' - 150' away. Mine was closer to 200', so I needed a booster. It came in real handy last night. We had temps. in the single digits, wind...

We got a Videosecu wireless IP camera (IPP105B) from Amazon. I absolutely love it. Full colour and infrared, pan and tilt. The camera is good in temps of -10*C to +50*C. You can install the free viewing app for apple, android or pc. Unfortunatly, my wireless router isn't powerful enough to...

But I'm OFF today!

I noticed something odd. When you stand behind her and look down, her belly/sides seems to stick out more on one side than the other. Is that normal? Is it an indicator that she's getting close?

I am in the same situation. We got our first goats, a doe and wether, in October. I was told that she was due in mid December - early January. The doe definitely looks pregnant. I'm a nervous wreck waiting to be a Gramma. Dreubber, I have found that most people use grain and feed(pellets)...

I bought a doe and a wether about a month ago. The lady I bought them from believes that the doe is pregnant and due somewhere between the middle of December and beginning of January. She does look pregnant. They were on pasture and being fed free choice hay and Dumor goat pellets. I have been...
