So when I went out to feed yesterday I noticed one of my does had a white frothy discharge from only one nostril. She is otherwise acting fine. She ate last night and is out grazing in the pasture today. We had some bad rain yesterday so I'm pretty sure their shelter is a mess and I will clean...

Not sure how concerned I need to be about this. I have run out of hay and the feed store is also out. In addition, I'm leaving town tomorrow for a long weekend. I've bought some alfalfa pellets to try to supplement the grain they get in the evenings and they have access to pasture 24/7. How...

I have three does that were all due this week. The first two had their kids with no problem. The third one had one baby while I was at work today and it is already dry and walking around. The problem is I think she was carrying twins and I'm worried that she hasn't had the other one yet. Should...

I have four NG goats in an acre and a half pasture. There is tons of grass in the summer here in Alabama so I don’t buy hay at all in the summer unless it’s for bedding. But I’m wondering if that’s ok. They also get goat feed in the evening and free minerals. Am I harming the goats? Just for...

So I am relatively new to goats. I've had mine for about two years and last year my doe gave me twin doelings. I recently purchased a billy and I am going to breed all three this year. When I got the doe she had an ear tag, but I didn't like the way it looked so I took it off. I have not planned...

My two year old goat has been limping the last few days .I looked her over and I don't see anything obvious wrong with her. It has been a very set winter but the ground is mostly dry now. I felt the whole leg and nothing is warm or swollen. Not sure how worried I should be. I'm in Huntsville...

I have three adorable sweet does and I would like to find a billy to mate them. The problem is that I can’t remember if they are Pygmy or Nigerian dwarf. Can anyone help? Also I would like to rent out a billy rather than trying to add one to the herd. Is there a website where I can find that?

I have a male potbelly pig who is fixed and is about 6 months old. I was considering getting him a friend. Since this is my first pig I thought I would see if anyone has any advice on adding a pig. Should I expect him to be happy about a new pig? Should I get another fixed male or add a female...

I have a six month potbelly pig and he is awesome. I have noticed that his eyes seem to be very sunken in and are a bit weepy. I know from vet shows that sometimes their eyelashes roll into their eyes and I’m worried. He is about 80 pounds, too heavy to load into the car, and I don’t have a vet...

So I recently adopted an orphan pot belly pig named Hamlet. When I got him he was on a bottle every 6 hours. We are at about 10 weeks now and he is still getting a bottle twice a day. I've been trying to wean him off of it but initially I didn't have any pig chow, so I was giving him puppy food...

So I have a dwarf Nigerian that had twins a couple of months ago. They were her first kids so she has never been milked and I wanted the babies to have the milk until they were weaned. But now that they are getting to that point I would like to try to milk her. But I'm totally lost on what I...

Hi I live in Huntsville Alabama and I recently rescued a hen from a family that was moving. She has always walked with a limp and never raises her tail feathers and I don’t think she has ever laid an egg. I’ve had her for three months. Today I caught her and looked her over. She had a bunch of...
