goats

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...

To sum this up, quickly: She was a bit lethargic, but improved today and has moved around more- never far into the pasture though. She may or may not have vomited, but I strongly believe she didn't since the only evidence I had was a wet/dirty jaw and mouth. She wasn't very vocal, but also...

Hello! I just got goats for the first time and just wanted to show them off. Feel free to read this small thread from BYH on before I got them: https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/getting-goats.41064/ Anyway, here’s some pictures of them. The white goat is Cleobelle and brown goat is Clementine.

Chicks are 15 days old today, holy they are getting big so fast! I only have two of my old girls left, I have to get a few pics of them to share as well!

I’m familiar with Coccidiosis in chickens.. but with goats I’m not all much familiar with. How can we treat our goats for this disease? What medication? Dosage? If this isn’t where to post this, I honestly apologize..
