In October of 2018, we were blessed to achieve our dream of owning a small hobby farm when we purchased 6.21 acres in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Our farm started with a couple of chickens and has now grown to 2 horses, 1 donkey, 4 goats, 25 chickens, 1 bunny and a garden. In 2021 we purchased an additional 5 acres bringing our total to 11.21 ac. Our goal is to create family friendly content and share our journey along the bumpy road of life.

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
So it's possible that the goat can shift her backend (one leg) off the platform and get hung-up by the neck and the one foot-tie? ..never has happened in all of creation... that is why it might be a good idea to place a simple railing opposite the milker's seat.
I’m with you. I’ll have a design in my head and then just start building making changes as needed based on what I have on hand. Of course I try to have everything I think I’m going to need but sometimes you have to adapt. Enjoyed watching your build.
Hi there! 8:17 - I usually try to remove the grass and weeds around my plants as much as possible. I think they "suffocate" the plants on a soil level and sometimes they cease the sunlight if they grow too big. Nice chicks by the way. I like them ❤
Hi sweetie loved your video. But I was wondering I can pretty much guess that you just made an and slight incision so the crop would open and the stuff would come out. But did you just leave it or did you have to sew up where you cut it open it? I am just wondering so if I ever have to do so myself, I know what to do. Thank you and have a blessed day.❤
You'll be ok. If the chick is mostly feathered, she can be on scratch grains. It was probably the long grass and worms that made her compacted, more than grains. Not all chicks know right away to eat rocks and grit, especially if they don't have an adult hen to teach them such. Did you know you're supposed to give them calcium as young as possible, or are you going by the book on only giving them calcium when they're producing eggs? Putting apple cider vinegar in their water once or twice a month helps with most issues, as well as a natural dewormer.
So, I’m not sure if you will ever see this, but… How do you keep your goats out of your chicken feed? We constantly have layer pellets out for our chickens, and we would really love to raise our goats in the same large paddock with our chickens. However, we are concerned with the goats, eating the layer pellets, since any time they are out together, they sprint towards where the pellets are kept.
Your goats look a little bloated you need to be careful with that grain they'll get acidiosis they will waste less dry feed if you give them less grain you have to skip a couple of days sometimes a week when they look like they're getting skinny you put them back on the grain like this you won't have birth complications
I like this idea I think am going to build one with 4x6 skids and 4x4 for frame and corners am going make mine 4’ tall from the floor and then 3’8” on the short side just to maximize material my area would be 3’8”x7’8” to maximize material
Hello David, we have had several inquires about this so we will be putting up a video shortly to detail the specs of the build. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching.
Do you have any specs for this build? I really like the concept and look. What material? Roughly how much did it cost you? Also how many hrs did it take you? I would like to attempt to build this also
Really nice shelter and demo that is very helpful! If you are crazy busy, skip to 20:37 and you can see how it all goes together and the materials used. I don't know if hardware or dimensions is covered in the first 20 minutes, but I didn't need to know that part.
Cool how-to video. We recently tried raising pigs for the first time. I don't think it's really our thing, though. They eat so much! And the price of pigs is so low right now. Thanks for sharing.
