Lenny is the tricolor ed and squiggy is the black and white :)

I may just cut bigger holes in my tote!! Thank you all!

They are 10 week old bucklings who will be wethered soon! What type of wormer, antibiotics, probiotics? Sorry for the 22 questions. I just don't want to get something that's not correct. Just loose ammonium chloride? Or is it a block? A liquid?

I can actually visualize what you are saying about the livestock panels and I may try something like that. I would like hay inside and outside their main shelter so we may be using a couple different types of hay feeders! @OneFineAcre , if you can find a pic that would be fabulous!!!

@mysunwolf , you didn't need to make the holes on the side any larger since they could reach in the top I am assuming :)

see I want something I can move-since i plan to rearrange the goats area once we get every we need built, built. I have seen the pallet feeders which is similar to what you have here but on a slightly smaller scale. I know what I want, I can picture it all in my head....but trying to...

I am looking for something permanent/semi-permanent....by that I mean I do not mind replacing it every so often. Right now I just have a small Rubbermaid container on the ground with the lid off inside their shelter (which is an aluminum shed). I have seen some pretty nifty DIY feed/water/hay...

Oh that would be great!! I will have to see if I can fine anything online that shows how to make something like that!! thanks again!

What are some of your must haves?? We only have 2 goats (Nigerian Dwarfs) and do not plan to breed/milk/show and we do not plan to have a goat farm or anything. Simply, just these 2 goats. (might add 1 or 2 later on but no more). What are some of the thing I should keep on hand? it would also be...

ok, great! Just an additional trough would be sufficient I assume. we are getting a couple trough like feeders so I can get my big dog bowl back :)

lol @ prissy-pants :) the goats will eat the mineral as long as its available though? I don't HAVE to top dress it? how often should I change the minerals out, daily? what if they are kept in their enclosure out of rain and such....Like @BlessedWithGoats , I am totally new to goats...and...

Right now I am just putting about 1 tablespoon of loose minerals into 2 cups of nutrena medicated goat pellets twice a day (we have 2 Nigerian dwarf bucklings who are 9 weeks old...they will be wethered soon). is this ok? I see a lot of the minerals left in the bottom of their bowl when I feed them.

We have a large shed that we use as the goats "house". The shed has no floor and when we put the shed back there YEARS ago as a storage shed, we threw down a tarp to set it on so what was in there did not sit right in the dirt. Well, we have since cleaned it out but the tarp is still there. We...

looking at the chart I found, it looks like a barberpole worm egg. the goat hookworm egg is similar in shape but slightly different center.

Hookworm eggs...I haven't looked up anything goat wise...but this looks like a hookworm egg you would see on a dog fecal who has them.

Wow!! Thank you all for the info!!! Im glad I came here!!
