After moving back to central Fl and a 55+ community from Tn we can’t take it anymore and bought an acre in north Fl in Hamilton County. All this so we can have our Buff and Lavender Orpingtons, some goats and a food forest. We may be past our prime but we want to do what makes us happy again❣️...
I started a flock thread before but no one posted on it so I'm trying again! I love talking about my chickens, I have over 120! I also love hearing about everyone else's flocks so join in! I just bought 8 new chickens and 2 still need names. Here's a Self Blue Ameraucana cockerel, any name...
Hi everyone,
We have a trio of Nubian cross goats available (2 are Saanen X Nubian and the other is Nubian X Nubian). They are roughly 5 months old, very friendly, disbudded and the doeling is registered. There’s two wethers and a doeling. We are in Nottingham, NH.
I am about to adopt some goats and the owner of them said that if I put them with or near the ducks or pigs the goats will get diseases. Should I be concerned if one of my pigs or ducks gets in the same pen? All the ducks I get in are quarantined for 30 days and fecal samples are taken before...
Hi from Canby Oregon! Canby is about half way between Salem and Portland. I've been a lurker on this forum for years. I figured it was time to join. What a nice knowledgeable enthusiastic group of people here!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've had chickens...
Just thought I'd share his video of all of us hanging out last night. Our goats and chickens are separated most of the time, but they do seem to enjoy some time together every now and then.
Hi there, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice.
I have 4 wether pygmies (horned) all a year old. They live together and are all very docile and tame. However recently, one of the goats is showing a lot of aggression towards me and the others. Whenever I go in to give them any attention...
I adopted an orphaned baby goat a little over one week ago, and lacking an outside companion for her, she is currently a “house goat” until we can transition her to living outside (hopefully with my mother’s pet sheep. I’m bottle feeding her and introducing her to a textured goat feed, alfalfa...
Hello! I became a member yesterday! I’ve read through threads on the site several times during my chicken research, and I decided it was time to join.
my family first got chicken when I was pretty small, maybe around 5? My brother became the main chicken caregiver, and maintained a small flock...
So we bred our four goats this Fall. We *think* they are pregnant, as they haven't gone into heat after breeding. However, we want to be absolutely sure they are pregnant, so we aren't feeding open goats all winter long. We also want to find out ASAP so we can re-breed them if they are indeed...
Hello people who have animals that eat hay!
So, I know technically this should be on Backyard Herds (BYH) , but I do know that there are people here that also have goats/horses/cows/etc.
This is your typical round bale (the GIANT ones) and the tiny square bales. So, cast your votes and feel...
I am building a vet shack with my family, where I can put lots of "vet" supplies, and treat my own, and my friends horses, and birds! I have a huge list of things to have on hand for chickens and ducks, now I jus need horse supplies. I am assuming the supplies are a lot alike, but I bet I am...
Hello Goat People! In my past few years of owning goats, I have noticed that my goats love autumn because of all of the leaves and acorns.
