Welcome! Glad to see a new member. Feel free to post anything about your pet goats here, or anything goat-related (or non-goat-related) you want to share. And if you have something you need help with, but you only want advice from people who have goats as pets instead of for profit (or who have them as both! For example, @Damfino has pack goats and pet goats. It's pretty cool), just ask the Pet Goat Club.

And as a new member, what's something cool or exciting you want to see happen here? The club kinda lost its pizazz, and I want to make it funner (It's a word now) for all the members

 

[Goatastic43]

Hmmmm…..what’s something I want to see happen….how about sending a million dollar check to all your members? 🤣🤣🤣

But honestly I just love to see cute pictures and funny stories of what the kids are up to!

When @Goatastic43 said funny stories of what the kids are up to," I was reminded of a story that happened a little less than a month ago that I need to share.

I was at the barn doing some work. I let the chickens out, and I didn't close the door behind them in case they wanted to come back in. The chicken "coop" is just a stall in the corner of the barn that we kind of converted into a coop. Right next to it was the barn door, and against the outer wall next to the door is a stack of stall mats. I saw Snickerdoodle stand on them, and figured Jimmy was nearby. I looked around, and then it hit me:

He's in the chicken coop gorging himself on chicken feed.

I ran in, got him out, closed the door, and called the vet. It looked like he ate a lot. The vet came over, had me help pin him against the stall mat stack (we don't have a chute that's goat-sized), and gave him a laxative, an antihistamine (did I spell that right?), and some charcoal through a tube.

I now owe my dad $135.72 because I didn't have the cash on me at the time.

Thanks a lot, Jimmy.

Gizmo sleeps ontop of my chicken box where my girl is currently sitting on eggs. The other day i see Gizmo looking at the box in confusion.

On closer inspection my rooster had gotten in to the box and was pecking the roof.

The look I got from Gizmo was priceless

So, we have 6 barn kittens now. Fez, Kelso, Hyde, Marshall, Jethro, and Hoot. For awhile, Snickerdoodle always spent time with them and was absolutely fascinated with them, so I said that she was an adoptive mom for the kittens. Now she hates the little guys. They bother her and she hits them with her forehead. Then I need to put her in time out, like when she headbutts guests' kids.

If it wasn't obvious, she's a bad goat and a bad mom. But we still love her 🥰

Also, unrelated, but if anybody knows how to teach your cats that your chickens will peck their eyes out if tried to be played with, let me know.

 

[Tanya]

I am working on that lesson... its the same as teaching my chicken that the hatchling is actually hers?

Snickerdoodle is so lovable. You cant be mad at her for long

I'm sensing a That 70s Show theme. 🤔

I just heard Blake name his "the voice" team as GOAT. Greatest Of All Time. Gooo GOATS...

 

[lottsagoats1]

I call my dairy goats "pets with perks"! LOL

You know it!

I would say the same for my chickens, but I'd say more like, tiny frenemies who hate your guts and also crap breakfast. Same difference, right?

 

[toth boer goats]

 

[Tanya]

My chickens are exactly that. And the goats are pets with perks - Chevani uses them as you would a shrink?😁

 

[FizzyGoats]

Goat therapy works! Chevani has it all figured out.

 

[Tanya]

Oh definately. Its an art.

Haven’t been on TGS in ages, but excited to jump back in the loop! My kiddo is getting her first goat next spring. Probably will do an ND for her since she’s still little. This whole year she’s run around saying Baby Goat! Happy Birthday! They truly make the best pets!
