Hey all you chickeneers. I'm going to drink coffee with Sourland until we convert and I'll sign on here until pumpkin time and I get back on BYC. Starting to get a feel for this format...

Hey BC!

Hmm, where is that High 5 emoji gone??

Do we really have to reload the page every time to view new messages? I miss home.



Betta let you go now, but yes. Goats are a pain in the butt.

When I was 13 I wanted Pygmy goats so bad! Drove an hour in a mini van to pick 2 up. Somehow ended up with about a dozen over the years. Had some polled ones that would climb the fence then squeeze her fat butt back under after she ate all the heads off the flowers

I miss them. But it'd be hard to replace Sugar, Dottie, and Macee.

Aw, Pygmy goats, I've heard they are just the cutest things! Well, that basically sums a goats life up; cheeky cheeky and cheeky. Climb the fence?? How'd she do that? My goat used to dig under the fence....

Never really had many goats though. But started with one this year. Bleet Bleet Bleet, Baaaa Baaaaa Baaaaa ALL day long! We couldn't find another goat friend for him at the time. He drove me up the wall!

The only time he would shut up was when i was out with him. I remember taking him for walks and he was hilarious! Always made me smile. Sadly, Bondi kept sneaking into the chicken food. Dunno how he did it. Stuck his head through the fence, pinched the actual chicken food bags and dragged them over and gorged on the whole bag! No matter what i did, i couldn't stop him, he always found a way. I did mange to fix him up when started to show bloating signs though. Maybe it was just luck, dunno. Then in the last 3 days of his life, it got serious. I noticed him looking HUGE with a very pale face, and no bleeting! I was just too busy to notice it, but thinking back, all the signs were very clear-----he was one very sick goat.

Didn't really notice how serious it was untill the last day, he looked like a pregnant goat at the end of her pregancy, attempted to save him, didn't work. It was very dramatic, he was screaming out, trying to walk, just wanting to follow me, he wanted to live. Then he fell down for the last time, makes me sad thinking about it.

Havn't gotten a goat since.

One the bright side, Sugar, Dottie, and Macee are adorable names!

Not too much. It can hold a bit of water, too. It's mesh, so doesn't affect airflow that much.




I'm not sure of the breakdown, maybe a quarter marans. I'm super excited about the egg color. I have one roo, one pullet, and one I'm not sure about.

Where is my coffee? I am getting a feeling that I do not do well with change.

Go over to Sourland's refugee tent and grab a cup. I don't think they have a keurig or any of that froo fra la over there though...
