Need some help - one of our 4-H members has a sick meat chicken. It's a male, probably 6 weeks old. They said it went down on Tuesday and it's not moving anything but it's head. Doesn't walk or move it's wings. It is eating and drinking, but only if they put the dish right in front of him. The...

Cheesemakers, how do you get the milk crud from making cheese off the bottom of a stainless steel stockpot? I've scrubbed and applied baking soda but not sure what else is safe to try.

I cannot find an answer to this - This morning Perdy had a couple small clumps come out while milking and one rather stringy segment too. They shot right out of the teat and her udder felt normal to me - soft after milking, no bumps or lumps, not hot. Is this something to worry about or just a...

We bought more hay and ended up with the best leafy green alfalfa hay ever...but it's causing clumpy poo because it's so rich. I'm going to cut it with some of the old stemmy brown hay, but is there anything else you goat experts would do?

I'm trying to get this straight in my head before I have to start milking the goats. What's your preference - do you milk into a bucket/container and then strain, or do you strain as you milk? I think I want to strain as I milk, but I haven't yet figured out my equipment. I have all sizes of...

Good deal alet! Hey guys, I just got the GardensAlive catalog with the $25 no minimum coupon. I used it to buy insect barrier and my total came to $3.10 shipped! I just might try to grow broccoli and cabbage this year! (I battled cabbage moths last year and they won)

I don't know what's wrong - it keeps giving me an error message that I'm not using the right photo type, but I am. I had a few go through, and they are all the same type, so :hu

I was just saying on Lori's journal that there have been 2 daytime burglaries within a mile of me in the last couple weeks. (2 that I have heard about from sources close to the scene - who knows how many there have actually been :/ ) I just want to cover my bases, so what all should we do when...

Do you guys do anything special for runny noses? My Perdy has a clear discharge but seems otherwise fine. This hideous changing weather we have had isn't helping, I'm sure. If there is anything I should do then I will, but thought I'd check here first for recommendations.

Lucy is getting spayed today and I was wondering if anyone here does anything special for recovery? I really need to study up on natural feline care, so if there's any websites you can point me to it would be very helpful :) Wish I'd thought of this last week :P.

You all just scrape it off right? All of my jars have a few spots of white mold. I scraped it off and already ate some, but for some reason need to be assured that I'm not going to keel over today. :D

I'm outta ideas and nothing I can think of sounds good. What are you having today?

One of the girls has mildly clumpy poo this morning. It's either from the small amount of grain or the browse they had yesterday. Here's what I've been feeding - free choice hay, minerals, and baking soda. Afternoon "snack" supplement of 1/4 c. kelp meal, 1/4 c. grain, 1Tb BOSS, and a tsp of...

I received a new cast iron dutch oven. It is preseasoned, however it feels gritty like sandpaper. I thought it would be more smooth. :hu It was in a box so the gifter had no idea what he was getting. I haven't bought new cast iron in 15 years so I have no idea how it should be. I'm thinking I...

Anything I can do to make my girls a little less fragrant? They were in with the buck up until I picked them up and whew! they stink. I don't want to bathe them since it's chilly. Something like a baking soda rubdown?

I messed up my broccoli soup and was trying to figure out how to fix it and found this recipe. It will be on my menu soon :drool Wisconsin Cheese and Beer Soup * 1 tablespoon butter * 1 pound smoked sausage, chopped * 2 cups chopped onions * 2 cups diced carrots * 1 cup...

Do you shave your goats? I'm trying to figure out why people do this. I just can't wrap my mind around making a goat purposely ugly - they look like those hairless cats :sick Is it done for shows or to facilitate shedding the winter coat and growing a new one? I for one never plan to do this, it...

...the new season starts tonight :ya :woot
