Think we're gonna try the Calf-manna. Sounds like it'll work, thanks for introducing me to it! We have wormed her as well, even took fecal samples to the vet to make sure she was wormed properly and to see if anything else was wrong. edit: duplicate post

My thread lives again! Observations: I have a young doe and a middle aged doe doing well on the greens diet, but my eldest, fancy pedigreed doe(Not cullable) definitely drops condition on it. I think its about the raising with her. (she was raised on pellets and only pellets, the others on...

Long story: We got this nubian doe back in springs 3 year old stubborn leggy goat who came with theme Josephine. (Jo) She birthed two little buckling which we sold offhand began to milk. She only put out a half gallon a day, but that was fine for our family. Gradually though, we began to notice...

Rather than making a new thread Im reviving an old one. My father was mowing and ran over a nest. We've recovered one baby rabbit, looks about two weeks old. Anyways we have a goat in milk so that shouldn't be a problem,im more concerned about how to collect Cecotropes?(My rabbits eat a lot of...

No expert but it sound to me like there aren't enough kits for the amount of milk the doe is producing, so that when they nurse, it doesn't relive enough pressure for her to feel its worth it, if she already finds it uncomfortable. I had a doe that wouldn't nurse her four kits at all. I removed...

Don't have pictures or anything(I never remember to take pictures), but I wanted to write my progress the past 4 Months or so somewhere so I can find it later, without writing it all on paper or loosing it to a computer file. I wasn't going to breed again anytime soon, but I received and...

how does one get an invite code for Lucky Lapine ?

Its growing everywhere here and since the goats eat it readily I figured the rabbits would enjoy some to. They also have edible berries, and sweet smelling flowers in spring.

Anyone know if rabbits can have Autumn Olive\Elaeagnus umbellata?

She's beautiful. What breed(s) are they? Looks like a Nubian,but I'm new to goats..

There was an old pigeon-talk site, but I guess they wouldn't allow anyone to talk about eating pigeons, or even euthanasia, lumping both those topics in with cruelty and abuse.. Doesn't sound like they would be very helpful for someone who actually wants to manage a healthy flock, and I'm sure...

Ive been looking for a good pigeon site, similar to Rabbit Talk , but I haven't found anything. Any recommendations?

(I this thread is older but I must have missed it somehow.) :nice: Question:The root crops have to be chopped for the chickens, right? Or do they peck away bits off them? I read feeding chickens there own eggs could cause problems, but if this proves untrue, (which is likely considering all...

I had a doe abandon her first litter. I noticed they where not getting fed so I brought them it. I had to take them everywhere with me, because of young children and the house cat.Every morning I held the mother so they could feed. I rubbed them from the start, which I think helped them survive...

Nothing much to do with prophecy but.... Many of my dreams, about one every two months, actually happen. Its odd, because its nothing important.(Opening a bale of hay, washing a blue bowl while watching rain through the window, etc) But its always there. I write down my dreams before I do other...
