That's what we were thinking as well. And yeah, every one of them so far has a problem. I don't know if it's their breed which I new had a weak Constitution to begin with it something from that lady it something from here.
Tried getting stool sample from them today but they were less than cooperative.

The new (to me) sheep working equipment we have now has sure made life easier. I used to use cow panels with pallets at both ends. The sheep would run back and forth the 16' length. It was just barely above a running around the pen flying tackle. LOL With the new equipment I can work them a whole lot easier.

If it is meningeal more than likely if one picked it up, they all did. I surely wish you luck with this! Very unfortunate situation.

That isn't unreasonable, the roof was beyond end of life. At best they would pro-rate the payment and it wouldn't be much.

@CntryBoy777 @B&B Happy goats I know neither of you live close to us, but do you have a recommendation for a reputable source for getting the ducks from? Do you recommend starting with ducklings or grown ducks?

I found ours on craigslist, all three are females as I don't want to breed them, I got them as you see them in the picture so they would start eating my problems away imediatly, lol....the eggs are awesome.
@CntryBoy777 is the KC expert, so if you have technical KC duck questions...he is your man to go to.
I had found some on CL for $10 each, but these girls were closer and I paid $20 each.....worth every penny !

That's what I'm here for, your entertainment
In fact, I believe that was part of my marriage vows: To have and to hold, in life and in death, etc, so long as I can laugh at him. Just remember, all that laughing comes at a price and that price is whip cream in the face....
