    Goats or sheep

    Goats or sheep? Which do you prefer and why? And what are some potential uses of each? Know about some of the more obvious uses but curious to hear your thoughts/the less obvious ones.

    How to fatten a chicken up?

    So I have a couple chickens that are pretty small but one in particular is really small and kinda runty. Could just be genetics of course? All 3 of the Orps aren't very big. But anyway, I'd like to try to put some weight on her and fatten her up some if possible. What's the best way to do that...

    Broody hen thread

    I know there were several on BYC and I had one asking questions about my girl so I figured I'd start one here. Anyone have any broodies currently? Did you let them hatch anything? Any cute pictures of hens with chicks perhaps? :D Anything broody related here. I have one that has been broody...

    Best/cheapest goat fencing

    So we're thinking of possibly getting goats and I was just wondering what the best fencing would be? And also preferably cheapest but will still contain them. I don't want to spend a crazy amount. Also, how much space does each goat need? We were thinking 2-4 dairy breed wethers. And could I...

    Goat breeds? (Brush clearing and pets)

    Posted this on BYC too but figured I would ask on the actual herds website too. Sorry it's so long. TIA So I've really wanted goats for some time and it will probably be a little while before I can get them since currently all my money is going to go towards building a new chicken coop and run...

    What can (or will) goats eat of this?

    I've seen a few posts about grain versus hay versus pasture/browse, how much of what, hay types, minerals, etc. And I'm still reading those, but I was just wondering if there's any plants they can't eat during browse. I know they can eat poison ivy and a lot of other stuff and are pretty good...

    Might be getting goats - need some help

    Our Gas Company SUCKS (rant)

    Okay, so our water heater blew up yesterday and we cleaned up the water and called right when it happened and like 5 times since, 3 just today, and they STILL haven't found a guy. Every time we call, they say "oh yeah, were working on it, we haven't been able to find a contractor." BULL. [grrr]...

    Painting! (project)

    I painted the dog house today :) It's still not perfect, as it needs another coat obviously, but I still think it turned out great. Next step is to clean it out and redo a lot of stuff. Currently there's tarps, some dog toys, lights, the dog toys are in a big bin, etc., all sorts of random...
