    Goat aprons

    So I have 2 ND bucks who are living separate, but would really like not to be. They are still young, about 3 months old, so they are tiny. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone uses goat aprons and if so, are they successful? I'd love for them to all run together, but I don't want any unexpected...

I put her in warm water for awhile and massaged her vent, still nothing. I figured I would keep her inside so I could keep an eye on her. Next day, she...

    Chick deformity

    So one week ago, one single chick hatched. She was not a great mama and had left the eggs multiple times for extended periods of time. I finally took them and put them in an incubator for the last few days. Once the one hatched (shockingly) I took it back out to her and she has since been great...

    Raccoon - no deaths yet

    So I have had this raccoon hanging around for a few weeks. I have set traps daily and he never flips the bar, but takes the food! Frustrating! :he He has even taken a food container that was on my deck inside a bench, unscrewed the lid and enjoyed. But he has not attacked any of my animals, yet...

    Drake mounted chicken- injured

    I had a drake mount my hen (chicken). I caught him and stopped him but she was already injured. It looks like a prolapsed vent. I put her in warm water to help her lay her egg and cleaned her up. I let her sit alone for a couple hours in a warm rubbermaid tub. I then gave her more warm water to...
