Does anyone have experience with the Black East Indie ducks? How do you like them?
I saw some about a year ago and just fell in love with them. How are they as pets? I was thinking of getting some in the future and maybe even hatching eggs and sell ducklings.
We have 2 warming barrels for sale. It has an On/Off switch and uses a 100 watt bulb. Electric box easily lifts off for cleaning the barrel. Is great for those winter kids. $65 each
I couldn't resist this one. I was looking on Craigslist and found this ad. This car cracks me up. Probably would make a good "farm" vehicle to transport small goats and sheep, pick up feed. But enjoy and get a good laugh. :lol: :gig

I'm so angry and upset. I put some banty chickens up for sale on Craigslist. A person around the Columbus area responded to the ad that was local to my area not his. Sounded like someone who really wanted the chickens. He asked if we could meet him somewhere since the drive was over 2 hours. My...

I had sold a pregnant female to someone and kept her until she kidded. My payment for keeping her was a doeling of my choice. Well, the doe kidded twins and I did get my doe. The new owners were very excited to pick up their goats and take them home so I said it would be no problem to pull the...

My last girl for February kidded on Thursday. She had quads, 3 females & 1 male. All went well. We have to keep an eye on one doe to make sure she nurses but Gold Dust has enough milk and can milk quads.

One of my Nigerians, Katriel, kidded yesterday evening. Of course not without some fanfare. Both kids were coming at the same time and the male was breech. Got the legs figured out and got them both out without too much trouble.

Does anyone know of a good camera that is EXTREMELY easy to use and doesn't take fussing with it to get clear pictures? I got a Fujifilm Finepix S1800 and I can't take a clear picture if my life depended on it. I was finally fussing with it today but my patience has reached its limit. Also, I...
Surprise kidded today. It was a rough night. The kids were too big to come out vaginally so about 6am a C-section was done. Both bucklings are alive and ok and Surprise is ok. Not a good night and not the way I wanted to end my year. Glad everyone is ok but I was hoping for females since this...
