Let's see your goats

these came home a week ago. Goats apparently cause you to get chickens. Come on free eggs...

 

My 9 year old Nigerian Dwarf/Nubian goat Peanut died this week. She was stupid, but I miss her.

 

Thats terrible..sorry.

 

what happened?

 

One evening, I noticed her not eating much. The next morning she was bloated and she layed down most of the day. The next day she seemed the same, barely eating and not wanting to walk. Later that day I found her laying on her side screaming and struggling to breath, and then she died a few minutes later. I don't know what happened. She seemed so healthy.

 

Sounds like bloat. Did you change her feed? Or she might of got some landscaping plant thats toxic.

 

I didn't change her feed. She probably ate some chemical or something my stupid neighbors sprayed along the fence.

 

Damn, sorry for the loss.people just spray weed control everywhere without thinking.

 

Yeah, some of my neighbors are idiots. My youngest sister hates them because they shoot the wild animals she loves. The woman almost shot my mom and sisters while trying to kill a rabbit. They also have a big field that would be perfect for burning the green weeds from their garden, but they choose to do it right beside our house. It stinks so bad and sometimes our house fills with smoke! My dad has talked to them about this crap, but they don't care.

 

So for you goat owners. I may be purchasing 2-3 goats In the near future. Looking for extremely small breeds, with very friendly temperament. Any advice on breeds?

 

Have four at the moment. Had as many as 27 once.

Pigmy’s.

 

Here's some pictures of the old herd I had years ago.

 

At my old job I "rescued" this one from a culvert next to a busy highway.

It was a good day!!
