Loving the herd life
I thought I'd introduce myself.
Im Peachick (active on the backyard chicken forum).
On Friday I brought home my newest hobby. A little boy fainting goat.... and a little lamb to keep him company until I bring him home some girls. They came from my friends and neighbors at Whitmore Farms in MD.
All is going well so far. My only question is a training question. I want him to be quite tame and manageable. He going to have a long coat so I want to be able to groom him without being injured I tried a loose dog collar on him so I have something to hang on to but I suspect a halter is better, as he really objected. I am planning a trip to Sheepmans today. So the question is, what do I do first to train him?... he really wants nothing to do with me yet.... although the little lamb started eating from my hand yesterday. I sit with them a couple times a day and just watch them.... this is going to be fun
