Thanks everyone -

Thanks you, I'm sorry too. Sometimes the learning curve can be hard......

Well, I had to put him down today. I consulted two vets and they both told me that after 48 hours there was no chance of recovery. To make things worse, he was doing fine otherwise. The runny eye cleared. He was eating well, he was even doing fine with "bathroom duty". I was told by a vet to...

Thank you very much - I will try.... I have moved his legs around, but did not think to actually exercise them......

Well, Its been almost 24 hours and he still has 0 use of his back legs. He is not eating as much as he was yesterday, but his belly feels full. He pooped brown sticky poo everywhere today and it smells bad, but not a "sick" kind of bad. No blood in it today. He finally urinated today as well. He...

A friend had a ewe have a lamb yesterday 5am. and she had no milk. I took him and gave colostrum etc. as I had read. ( I've never raised one) My question is..... I had a ewe who gave birth to twins a little over a week ago and she left one in the field and I didn't find it in time. She has tons...

Well, Mrs. Kay is still doing fine. No fever, no discharge, no foul smells, ears up, eyes clear...... I needed the jug I had her in so I let her back out with the herd. She was so happy she RAN to greet everyone. Just went out and checked on her. She looks great. Nudging my pockets looking for a...

Thanks, this is one of a set of twins born Christmas morning. I would love to learn to spin the fiber from my Rabbits. I just sell it now. Don't know exactally when I could fit in another thing to learn. We looked into alpaca and even committed to a pair, but after much research on care we...

Well, with us it started with chickens (rare breeds) expanded to peafowl added turkey's and then bought a flock of sheep after which I decided I just MUST have the French Angora...... Chicken math goes well beyond chickens. I tell everyone that if your going to have a farm what could be more fun...

I was at local feed/supply store last night. They had an Orpington trio for sale and one had lad an egg in the cage. I know the workers and he got it out and handed it to me to put in my incubator. A lovely young lady with a baby was next to us and asked what I was going to do with the egg. I...

If it were not for chicken math, I couldn't justify my chicken obsession:))

I do not trim up my girls before breeding. Once they start nesting, I do make sure that they have pulled enough hair from their bellies so the kits can nurse. Once you have kits, you need to check often that they do not tangle up in the long hair and strangle themselves. I have had this happen...
