goat

I have an ex bottle goat that I am severely attached to. She is overdue on day 163. This is going on the day we had gotten rid of the buck march 24.

My 9 year old donkey attacked my 1 year old goat today after living harmoniously for the last year. I have no idea why. I have 2 donkeys and 3 goats that live together. All are castrated males. All have gotten along until now. The goat was hiding and hurt yesterday afternoon. We guessed he...

Can goats eat herbs? I grow all kinds for my rabbits and would like to grow some for my goat. Is there any thant I need to avoid?

Our 12 week old Nigerian Dwarf doe was acting weird last night, lying down, then standing up, then lying down, over and over while she ate her grain. Anyone ever seen this behavior before? She seems totally normal besides the strange lying down behavior. Hoping she isn't in pain from bloat or...

My dog attacked our Nigerian Pygmy last night. He has a few bites on the inside of his hind leg which I cleaned and bandaged to stop the bleeding. We sprayed Blue Kote on them today and got penicillin in case of infection. We've only had our little guy a week, so he's barely weened. He's eating...

I have a herd of 7 Nigerian Dwarfs. 2 kids, 4 does (1 still in milk) and a buck. All of them are 3 years old or less. We have had them on hay but want to switch to pellets because we are struggling to find good hay where we are at. My questions are: 1. How much to feed per day, per goat? 2...

Hello, everyone! I am a brand new member of BYH and I have 3 unregistered mini goats. I am quite happy with them being unregistered, but a lot of information about the benefits of registration has come my way and I have fallen into an internet hole researching the process. I have mostly...

My Nigerian dwarf doe, Bella, successfully gave birth to beautiful triplets as a first freshener! Two does and buck. They're all sweet as can be but since day one, one of the does seems to be mute. They're all two weeks old now. I noticed right after birth the other two were crying but she'd...

We just bought our first farm and we are debating on whether to get goats or sheep. I know your suppose to get 2 goats so they keep each other company but I want to get 1 male and female goat and 1 male and female sheep. I will house the males together and the females together separate from each...

I'm sure all of my questions could be answered by surfing through the other threads on this site more deeply, but I'm pretty new around here and still feeling my way around. Anyway, my Rosie-girl (two year old Alpine) is pregnant! Her due date is April 17th, and as the time is getting closer...

This goat was rejected by his mother and was about to die without interventions. After getting his body temperature up and giving him colostrum for the first day, he seems to be having problems with his front legs. I'm not sure what it means or if it's normal of far from it. I hope to find the...

Newton as of this afternoon has taken to sitting in her she'd and yelling at anyone and everything including our chickens. Her utter has developed nicely her stomach has dropped and her hips (under her 3 inches of hair) are protruding. And there is signs of something dried on the end of her...

I have only seen slight movement when my doe is on her side. She's about two to three weeks away from having her baby. And I'm probably just over thinking things. Over a few posts I've read people are saying how their FF'S babies arent as noticeable as more experienced does when it comes to...

My goat is supposedly due potentially in the next two weeks. We are only guessing. I was wondering how can you tell if her stomach has dropped? The top two pics were taken tonight and the bottom one was two days ago.
