WELCOME TO PHOEBE AND CLARRISE'S KIDDING THREAD! We have two does this year that will be kidding soon! Phoebe is due sometime next week, and I believe early next week. She has crusty/gooey privates, which just started today. Clarrise is due sometime in two weeks. Her privates haven't started...

So, we have some boer goat due here pretty soon and we need to know what we need on hand. Scissors, bottle, what? This is our first time ever so we need the advice! :)

:lau

I believe i will be getting both, and if i only get one, then my parents will buy the other. The people on Backyardchickens said the same :)

You win a half dozen goats *inserts coin*

X3 We have a buck living right next to our girls and the milk tastes FABULOUS!!

So, on Monday we are going to get a dairy goat from these people. Now i am trying to decide which one to get, or should i get both? http://kansascity.craigslist.org/grq/2999653542.html There are pros and cons of each, but i personally think the black one might be best, but i am new to the breed...

our dear goat kiddos have mites really bad. Poor molly has them super bad! Is there anything we can give them to get rid of them? PLease help, these guys mean a lot to me!!:(

Thanks :) They are on momma, not bottle-fed :)

How old do dairy kids have to be when i wean them? Thanks :)

Buckley is much better this morning. Scours are gone. Poop is normal looking. He is alert and active. Thank you!

I waited till DH came home and we treated Buckley with the Corid. We treated him and all the rest of the goats with Safeguard for worming. Everyone else seems fine. Buckley still has the scours before the treatment and will hopefully be better soon. Will continue to treat him. He is active...

I am glad we don't have to separate them, because we don't have anywhere else to put him! also, how use Corid? do we pour or down the mouth? We bought Corid and safeguard. Is that enough?

Thank you both! This has been very helpful to us. :) We are headed to the store right now to get treatment for him, and wormer for everyone. We were also wondering if he had to be separated, or if he isn't contagious?

I have been suspecting worms for a couple of days now. His stomach has been getting bloated and he has not been as interested in food. If it were to be worms is the treatment the same or do I need to try to worm him while he is scouring?
