So, in case anyone cares to look us up..we now have a little FB page...C&DFarming. It’s the picture of a silver goat. The FB page went nuts and is making me a bit too busy for my liking. Hoping it settles down. Not sure if you all know but we breed Juliana mini pigs...had our first litter...

Hi everyone. I just bought a slightly used Hoverbator. I’ve been reading tons of threads, right along. Soooo much info. Plus, tapping the net for tips. Seems to be differing info everywhere? Ok, so 1st..how many days is ideal to let my eggs set out? It says up to 7. Humidity says to keep...
I’m also on BYH, and we are a much smaller forum.....but, we all know each other very well because of it. Someone started this thread, and it’s amazing the reaction it has gotten. I thought I’d start it on here too? So, as for us...my Son is a junior at Slippery Rock university. His school...

Ok, so right now we have too many eggs. We are selling a ton of them, which is great, but we have pullet eggs, and just way too many to sell. I have 19 dozen in my fridge at any given time. We give them away like crazy!! As soon as the weather breaks, we are putting a road sign up and a...
I’ve had a tan EE since August, she was about a year old when we got her. All my eggs were brown, with the exception of one light tan then. I figured it was hers. I never checked her for laying. I always figured those were her eggs. I have a new EE. She’s about 6 months now. Every week or...
Hi all...I thought those of you who know my Little Lou might want to know how things are going for him. Well, he seems to have trouble with his one eye again, probably from still not dunking his head. He’s got two bowls of water...one shallow and heated, one tall for dunking, also heated. We...
We recently had to deal with lice. When I wrote about the clean up etc, on our sister site ...BYH..I wrote that I put down some DE after spraying with permTurin...and then put a thin layer of hay on 5he ground floor...to make raking easier next time..then a ton of wood chips..then a tons of hay...
On Friday...my goat Stormy..was talking up a storm! I thought she was either going to deliver, or was reacting to the new goats that we got the night before that were in her previous pasture. I had to run out, so I told my hubby to watch her closely and text if something happened. He texted...
So...I have two adorable goats...Busty, Nigerian Dwarf mix and Stormy, a Pygmy Mix. The buck is full ND. They are both due to kid this week...if we did the math right. Let’s put it this way..they were both exposed to our buck exactly 145 days ago...so, Stormy should be due today, as she is a...
Hi there! We are trying to grow our farm...but, also, we e found that eating our younger birds are darn tasted. We don’t want to keep them around for 5-6 mths, like we just did with our NHR cockerels...too much feed. We had meat birds last year..didn’t like them..because, they were, no fun...
So, yes..it’s happened...my birds have...the dreaded ...lice!! :(. I live in a very small town...no permethrin dust here..we went 40 miles today to check stores....nothing there either....so, I’m online looking at buying that way..sooo many choices!! I’d like to stay in the $7-8 range since I...
Hi there, awhile back I posted a thread about Whitey , my Leghorn, having a very, ummm, yucky bumm. A friend who is a pigeon owner suggested we put iodine in her water. I checked on here, it was recommended that we simply trim her bumm feathers. We did that, and she had no problems. Today, I...
Ok...so, Little Lou developed eye issues wayyy back in December when he wasn’t well with his broken knee. He wouldn’t dunk his head...it became..perhaps an infection...anyways it was deci on here to treat with saline drops to loosen the eyes..because he coul open..and then use teramyacin. Did...
Hi there. Our Honky is very unhappy, and we would like to find him a happy place to be. He is a big beautiful goose....mild mannered, accept that he misses not having a girlfriend. I think if he had someone to share his day, he would finally be happy. We are in NW PA. I’m willing to meet...
