Some does don't have any at all. My goats prefer blue buckets to green and red ones. I have no idea why but they will always drink them empty first.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664824920459341153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-46989893243452333772009-08-06T08:24:18.263-07:002009-08-06T08:24:18.263-07:00Ha ha ha....7MSN's comment cracks me up...I ha...Ha ha ha....7MSN's comment cracks me up...I had no idea that's where "goatee" came from! But Sweet Pea is lovely...and so grown up! I noticed that Pete (my 5 month old ND wether) has a small tuft already under his chin. My husband is really looking forward to goat beards - he's so weird. :-)<br />Will you let Sweet Pea keep hers? I know some peole shave them off their females for showing - not a requirement, just a preference for some.<br />TootleLu is a CUTIE PIE!! What a stance! I don't know what is right or wrong, but he looks awesome. :-)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-8896549969048109242009-08-06T06:59:03.494-07:002009-08-06T06:59:03.494-07:00The white buckets is GREAT advice!

They look really rough and their old feathers are ragged. Some of my hens have lost their tails and look like rumpless versions of their breed.<br /><br />Sweet Pea has grown into a nice looking doe.

Iris (alpine) has one. The saanans have them as well. It seems I have another but my old brain isn't kicking it on that one.<br /><br />Joanna, I beleive you about the bucket color. For some reason my goats used to prefer the blue buckets over the red ones.

How I love him. When I was raising LuLu from a duckling, I was amazed when her pin feathers came in. Those spiky quills just look uncomfortable. But you know what? If anyone can rock new feathers, it's Franklin.<br /><br />Love your post and photos as usual Joanna.Boozy Toothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765083787738573580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-81834379989892139942009-08-05T07:01:58.684-07:002009-08-05T07:01:58.684-07:00Beautiful picture of Sweet Pea.

Your goats all look so perfect and pose so 'professionally'. My compliments to the trainer...<br /><br />Enclosed room and covered deck???
