We lost a lot of limbs off our willow tree, but not power so we are very thankful. We kept the chickens locked up in the coop for 2 days, I was afraid that my little silkies would get blown away. They looked very happy to get out and about this morning. :) We have a couple of hours clean up...

:lau

They are so adorable, what breed are they?

:woot

We feed grain in the am and pm, fresh hay and water 24/7, and they get to browse all day on pasture. :) My husband made a welded-wire hay feeder that is attached to the inside corner of their goat shed. They seem to love it, and it reduces waste.

:ep :lau I can always count on BYH for at least one laugh a day. Today I surpased my quota. Glad your ok.

Rockytogg, your price is normal. Here in Michigan, goats milk soap cost the same only add 6% tax on it. I have bought it online for about the same also. In the spring, I plan on making my own, and that's about the price I was thinking to sell it at. The quality of goat's milk soap is...

:) That's what I suspected, Jingle got 3ml and the others got 2ml. :lau Oh my poor baby, she bawled, then went to lay in the shed and gave me the "up yours" face. I felt so bad. :hit

I find that once you start with one thing, then it's another, then all of a sudden you have a whole farm. ;) Life is good! :) I wouldn't want to live anywhere else (except Scotland, but I have to wait for the kids to finish growing up before that happens).

I'm not sure about the goats, but I have seen my chickens devor a 2ft long gartner (sp?) snake in 60sec. flat. One grabs it, runs and all the others chase and peck and then it's gone. :)

Just gave goats injections. Awwww, poor Jingle she bawwllleeedd. :( I just keep thinking.... this is for your own good sweetie. Those hides are tough and for little goats, they sure can wiggle. Hopefully it will be easier tonight. :)

Thank you cmjust0, I have the 18g needle, Yikes, your right it is huge! The oldest goat is approx. 40-45lbs. Would I do 2cc or 2.5cc? I am much happier doing SQ, it seems less intimidating. The other goats are appox. 25-30lbs. same 2cc dose or a little less?

I have 4 kinder goats, they have shipping fever and the vet told me over the phone to give them 2cc each of penn-G twice a day. Problem is I have never given an injection before. The medicine says I need to give it to them IM. I watched a you-tube on how to do it, but I am having a hard...

Welcome Carol :D BYH is a great place for finding information and connecting with new friends who share the same passions! Homesteading is a labor of love and so is keeping animals, Enjoy! MCW, looking forward to it. Way go :D, can't wait to see the pics! edited for spelling.

OMG MCW, I just realized that I never responded. :( It's been so busy here with all the animals that I haven't been on here in a while. Yikes, I'm so sorry. Anytime in July would be great. :) I am home most days. Cherry festival is this coming week, we don't go, but we sure see the...
