Hi goaty people, I would love your advice! I have never had goats so I don't know what's acceptable, but I think my neighbour is mistreating his animals. Basically, stakes them out using a central stake, in the middle of exposed fields, without any shelter from sun, baking heat (it gets up to...

Checking the coop this morning I found something strange in the droppings. Next to a bunch of normal poop was a white one, 3 to 5 millimeters thick and about 4 cm long. It's white and has the look and consistency of cooked egg white. I cut it open and it looks homogeneous throughout, but...
