I have this posted there too, but have only gotten a few responses...but thank you!

You had a hard decision to make, but I think you did the right thing. Some animals just aren't a match for some situations...it's not a good mix for the family or the animal. Good luck on finding something that 'fits' and completes your family a little better.

Hi everyone! My 5th grade daughter is doing a science project about nigerian dwarf dairy goats and eye color probability and preference. She wants to take a poll but we need individual comments so we can have the info for the project. 1) If you have bred a blue eyed goat to a brown eyed...

Okay - I have a pet peeve. We have free-range chickens - many standard varieties...RIR, maran, Leghorns, EE's, NH, Sex Links, etc... We get brown, white and green eggs. We package them as assortments - all 3 colors in a carton. I get so frustrated when buyers want 'only brown, because they...

Pics didn't come through...

Where in WV are you? We have some standard chickens for sale...laying hens. We were asking $5 each for them, but if you want them and are close...$3 each.

It's "Flat Stanley" - chicken style!

Chicken-palooza in Bridgeport? Tell me when! I have a bunch of standard laying hens to sell!

I'd go with a dose of BoSe, and try to encourage her to nurse from mama. I had a ND that was born (trips) and seemed to walk on the top of her toes (feet bent behind). She straightened out after a few days. Remember that they are in tight quarters for a while...it takes a little while to...

Congrats on the new baby! If she just had a single - encourage the baby to nurse from both sides of mama's udder. It's not unusual for the baby to have a preferred side and then her udder will become lopsided (and engorged, and uncomfortable). Just take baby off the preferred side and offer...

Hmmmm, what if I had Nigerians for milk and bred them to a Nubian? Would that give me better meat animals in the offspring? There's a mini farm near me that offers Nubian buck stud services and since I'm not planning to have my own buck this might be a good option. Don't go that route! A...

I'd guess EE cross...based on the tufts on his face.
