Yes they do. Everyday they make me laugh for one reason or another. Either a chicken doing something or one of the goats. They are a commitment but one well worth it.
Gardening With Puppies I miss mine too so much. I've had that problem with the goat in the coop eating the feed then you have to treat the scours for the next couple of days. I've subscribed can't wait to see the kids. What breed are your goats?
I felt like I was right there with you as you were showing us around! Thanks for sharing! I want to have a much smaller homestead, and am learning to get over my fear of well all of it! you made very personable! thanks pretty lady!
Animals bring sanity to my world. I would not thrive without them. Great channel. Really like the girl who steals from the chickens. Obviously she does not care that she's fatty fatty two by four, she'll show you how to get in the chicken house door :)
I just love that you take care of your little chicken that gets picked on:) Thank you for the sub! I subed on yours as well and I am looking forward to watching! How many eggs a day you get? I am wanting to get some chickens to get some eggs soon so any info is great!!
In the last few weeks my little picked on chicken has started taking up for herself and is doing well. I have 10 chickens, 8 of which are hens. 3 of my hens are over 5 years old and do not lay as much as the younger girls. My Polish bantam gives us a "novelty egg" every couple of weeks or so. Basically out of 5 active laying hens I get usually 4 eggs a day during the sunny months. I like the Rhode Island reds and Buff Orppingtons best. The barred rocks and silkies lay okay but not as sweet
@JuliaP777 I did not de-bud my goats because God gave them horns to protect themselves and I will not take that away. They are two years old and have never had their horns stuck on anything. Now I will say I am with my goats every day and we have chainlink so it could be they just don't have the opportunity to do it. They do not gore each other. They butt each other with their heads down but they have never used their horns. They are sweet goats ;) Hope this helps.
@wschraml18 People laugh because she is like a dog when I am outside. She follows me every step. I have to be careful not to step on her LOL. The dog on the other hand demands attention every moment of every day :)
fortbumper They were free recycled buckets from the HEB bakery. I used them for several years and then took them to recycle. We now use metal trash cans.
Nice video. I have been looking at videos of homesteads and stuff for a few weeks because I was thinking of getting chickens but I have been debating on some goats too. I liked your goats, they seem very friendly. Do your goats have to be pregnant to produce milk?
Goats are a great addition to the homestead if you have good fences LOL. I don't milk while the girls are pregnant but once the their kids are weaned then I start milking. I then milk until their production is so low it is time to breed them again. We give the girls a "rest" while pregnant. Not all homestead do this though.
They don't have to be continuously pregnant but they do have to be pregnant to start the production of milk. Depending on the goat some can milk up to 8 months or longer after the birth of the kids.
I see you didn't de-bud your goats horns. Do you have any problems with them having horns? I was thinking about getting goats and have been doing a lot of research and watching videos on youtube about goats and so many have de-buded their goats horns and say it like a must. So do the horns bother you or your goats in any way, do they get them stuck in places like fences, ram and stab each other, gore each other, etc. like others say?
I like your videos very informative. My I suggest one thing? Just speak up a bit. your voice is so soft your a little hard to hear. I had to turn my computer all the way up to hear you hun.
I love your goats I will be getting some Nigerian dwarf/Nubian mix goats Mostly Nigerian but daddy has some Nubian him. but I will be getting them here in the next 7 weeks they were born on 4th July weekend so there about almost 2 weeks old can't wait to bring them home. I am picking them up from a friend who's doe had twin girls. There mother milks about 1/2 gallon once the babies are off the mother she gets 1 gallon of milk each day with her 2 doe's that she has. SO I am hoping to get that but pretty sure not the first year but could possibly because the Nubian in them I wish I could get pics of them on here but can't. there Names are Lucy and Clover. (LUCY: has a heart shaped shape on her head and looks exactly like her mother) Clover: has a what looks to look like a 4 leaf clover on her head. they have the Nubian ears they drop a little instead of the ear plain ears.

Thank you for letting us tag along while you did chores.
I sure miss my goats. Thanks for sharing your morning chores with us. Brings back a lot of memories.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching. Come late April - early May we should have a yard full of kids again :)

Thanks for the sub. They are Nigerian Dwarfs. The little chicken food stealer is small even for a Nigerian Dwarf. Well shorter anyway LOL
BackyardHomesteading Well, I subbed because I can't wait to see them. Great videos.
They will give you a laugh everyday :)
It's hard work most days but it is so well worth it. Good luck :)
Animals are such wonderful things... I love goats, chickens, sheep (and of course dogs)... They are all such characters... thanks for the video
How right you are :) Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing. I have a hen that everyone likes to peck at too. She follows me all over the place. Your dog is adorable too.

OMG I love it! I'm working towards this at the moment.

+Our Simple Homestead Thank you. Most days I love them too. LOL
Everyone should have a pet goat LOL
Your animals seem so happy. Just subbed.
Thank you. They are happy...at least when they see me with a feed bucket LOL

Thank you we enjoyed your comments :)
@iamdoroda Thank you for stopping in :)
So, one may say "she is not longer chicken to stand up for herself";) 4 eggs a day world be great!!
What kind of goats do you have? They are beautiful. I'm considering getting a couple of milk goats.
@JuliaP777 I did not de-bud my goats because God gave them horns to protect themselves and I will not take that away. They are two years old and have never had their horns stuck on anything.

And now I want a pet goat
Are the goats used for anything or just pets?
@wschraml18 People laugh because she is like a dog when I am outside. She follows me every step. I have to be careful not to step on her LOL. The dog on the other hand demands attention every moment of every day :)
have you ever try to use less plastic container for your grains?

What time do you feed?

+BackyardHomesteading I breastfed while pregnant. It's not that great.

Does anyone know what kind of goats those are?
:)
