The problem with this hobby farm is I cant part with them.
I've never sold nothing....lol
Give them away...chickens, geese,,,and eggs everyday.
Let a child come here and I'm giving them chickens.
I've spent several nights in the barn.
Thank goodness Yorkies dont SCREAM like goats will do sometimes while having their babies....
I've also had little ones in my house under heat lights.
Both times we had twins. But I really cant stand the thought of breeding them
then one dying like one little one did last time at 2 weeks old , then it died in my arms as we headed for the vets

Yes, back when we had the goats we also had chickens, geese, guineas and cows too. I've had many babies in the house running around with diapers on. Had a couple literally freeze solid and I was able to bring them back and they were just fine. And yes, I've also held many as they died. It was always heartbreaking and I cried every time. When my mamas were giving birth I would crawl in the pen with them so I could sit by them. They'd lay their heads in my lap and I could rub their heads. I just loved them. They were so sweet. Except for the few that were wilder than fleas, lol.
Now yorkies on the other hand... they are superwoman when they give birth. None of mine have ever made noises, just grunts.
