    Rooster eating goat poop?!?

    My rooster Bobbo has always been a bit of a weirdo, but lately I have noticed him chewing on goat poop. I also saw him swallow a piece, which is very strange. I feed him plenty of food and give him snacks during the day, so I don’t believe it is because he is hungry. He also has 1 1/2 nice acres...

    Goat bleeding please help

    Hello I’m new to goats. my 2 year old doe is bleeding :( i don’t really know what happened. She has been mating with a buck for 3 days could it be that? I also don’t know if she got pregnant these past 3 days because today her milk production was lower than normal. And her stomach was a bit tight.
