My other half kept saying he wanted to get goats... he's never raised or kept them before, but I did when I was younger... a friend mentioned a pair of bucklings she was needing to sell and she wanted Call ducks and more chickens... we started discussing things, 1 buckling ended up sold already, but we came to an agreement and she graciously offered a bottle baby doeling to go along with the wether (I requested he be wethered)... so we swapped a load of Calls and chickens for our 2 wonderful new additions...

Thanks, LS! :D

So far, they absolutely are! Aliza is a bit of a spoiled dainty diva that is sweet and affectionate... and Friday is a well mannered, polite gentleman, once he got over his pouting fits, lol...

You jumped in with both feet, congratulations. They are adorable.

As long as it isn't over our heads we'll be fine, lol... but that's why I asked for Friday to be banded... not sure if we're ready for the whole enchilada quite yet... ;)

You will be ready before you know it, that's the way it works. But Friday will make a good friend for your buck. ;)
