Hi guys! As a kid, my family raised goats. We always had them in pasture but they loved to rummage around in the woods. My husband and I would like to get two pet goats, but our home is up on a mountain and the acreage is primarily wooded. We wouldn't have any ability to clear for pasture. My...

Hey there! Appealing to all the chicken friends I can for help, I have had FIVE chickens die in the past week….crazy! 2 silkie roos, one buff orpington/silkie mix 5mo chick, buff orpington hen, and barred rock hen. So strange, I guess it could be heat or anything? It’s been way wet out here, if...

My chicks are dirty! Last year when we got our chicks, we got 21 and kept them in the garage. we kept them in an outside dog run but decided to put them in our garden shed this time because of the horrible dust everywhere. Now, they are getting poop everywhere, hopping out of the large tote we...

Hi! I was wondering, can you keep 1 goat with just chickens for company? My 4-H leader raises goats and I helped with the birthing of this one baby and I really want to keep her. But my parents said I can only have one goat because of the expense. I am paying for them by myself. Help please...
