Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the kind words!! The video is more for everyone to hear me breathe. Very effective.

@@janicedunn895 thanks for the input!! Have a great evening!!

Thanks!!

I wish I could remember. Smaller the better though. 1.5” seems about right.

Honestly I don’t dip beaks. They will figure it out. Once a poult or chick starts pecking at something the others follow. They are curious and figure it out. No need to force it. They can go days with no food or water after hatching.

It’s a very good purchase. I use it to weigh myself. But can be used for many purposes. Livestock obviously. But good for weighing antler sheds, bulk items, etc. very accurate scale.

Hope you have some vitamins on hand. Vitamin b-12. Check eyes for color. Make sure they are red/pink and not white on inner eyelids. If so she is anemic and requires deworming. And best to hurry.

I would say my opening was too small. I sold it all and relocating as we speak so no updates. But I would have opened it up a tad more. Maybe 1/8”.

@@ThisNorthernLife, thanks for the quick response. So you're saying, more like 3/8"long? Also, may I ask, what length staples you use? Good luck with your relocation, will you still have Quail and will you be doing more videos? I hope so, just found your channel. Thanks again.

@@jeannienutter3015 as soon as I get settled in I may. Depends on a lot of factors. Not trying to rush into anything. But no, 3/8” is plenty probably. You should be good to go. Depending on humidity. Just check the feed every now and then and make sure it isn’t sticky. I think I had 3/8” staples to 1/2”. That is the longest I could find when I was at the store.

It is an arrow pt50 possibly. Very nice little gun. When you have a lot of staples to shoot this is lightweight and faster than a battery operated. Think you can purchase these at Walmart actually.

Another one that works well is a narrow crown stapler. They are a little pricey because it’s a pneumatic gun, but if you do crafts like this frequently, you’ll probably get some good use out of it. Roughly $140 for a DeWalt narrow crown stapler.

It’s usually the same culprits too. Learn as we go. We are now selling them all and relocating. Have to see what we get for property before we commit to doing this again. I’ll make sure to be 100% set up prior to acquiring more goats though.

I can only get better. Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep aiming for improvement. Thanks for watching!!

Well….. something is accomplished. It’s all on how you look at it. Thanks for watching!

@@ThisNorthernLife lol I agree with you! It always amazes me what some folks have the nerve to say. You are sharing, FOR FREE, a successful goat birth...and get complaints and told to do a better job next time! I appreciate the video and hope to see lots more from your homestead. ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸

Geesh! Maybe you should show all the great editing and filming examples on your own channel. Oh wait...🤔🙄

@@mllee2008 I do need to work on my camera skills. I also have a baby in my arms a lot of the times. And this stuff kinda happens on the fly. I definitely do not beat myself up over the criticism. I am thankful for any interaction. You are right, I do not make a dime and I probably never will. I don’t intend to make the bank from the channel. Only here to help. If it blows up then that is ok as well. Everyone is welcome to like or hate. I come from a place where everyone should be able to say anything they want. It’s how one perceives it, and up to that person to process it correctly and hopefully in the best way. I do appreciate your kind words !!

You said dry hatching? So you shouldn’t add any water. Let it be dry. I only add water the last 3 days. During the lockdown period. I think mine would be around 17-20% naturally without me adding any water. With the water method you’d want around 40-45%. So dry method. No water. Lockdown full water. Humidity should be 60-75% during lockdown. Worked for us anyways.

No spares but for sure would be nice to have a parts truck.

Thanks for watching Monica!

As in Chevy Colorado?

@@ThisNorthernLife Yeah

@@itichaitiemsanjai1310 nice. Yea I love mine so far. Very smooth on the trails!

Very easy to build!!

Too kind. Thank you!

Thanks!! I will soon as I get back from hunting!

Only a few hours so far. I’m up on in buckeye now. Should be able to get out in the desert and get some cool footage

Thanks. I can see that.

Yes. Incubator beeps. When it’s turning the trays and probably when drops below temp. The squeaking is what I am annoyed with. Unfortunately I cannot get up that high to lube the vents. I have to rent a lift. It’s about 20-24 feet up I think. And in the middle of shop so nothing to lean a ladder on. Lots of windy days lately.

You got a drone yet?? We are in a restricted zone so it’s tricky learning the rules.

@@ThisNorthernLife no not in the budget this year, but I'm not in a restricted zone!!!

We will provide shelter but we do not usually force them to go into shelters. I am not sure which goat you are talking about.

@@ThisNorthernLife I’m talking about the girl that gave birth in the video I understand that you don’t want to force them into the shelter we put our go to the shelter before they go into labor because we have Nigerian dwarf goat and usually it’s an overnight birth and we have coyotes in our dogs chase the coyotes and then you go into the goat pen to get away from the dogs like they’ll jump in and go pan or something and eat baby goats twice so now we put them in the pans at night and when they are giving birth

@@addywalker477 I understand. We don’t have any predator problems here. We have a neighborhood that have people and routinely shoot them. So our biggest predator is just owls picking off our chickens. I routinely check our fence line and besides cats and skunks, we don’t have any canine coming under or over. We even set trail cams out and never see anything but skunks and cats.

So far we have never lost a goat to predator. We understand that our situation and location is different and expect that our methods of care will change if we relocate.

That is all I have. The bottom portion is the same as top portion. The only difference is the height from floor. Angles and measurements are all the same.

He is 87.5% registered with ABGA. Thanks for watching! You can probably look him up as SunFlower Farm Polar Express. Registration# 10865156

@@ThisNorthernLife The other 12.5% would be nubian? nice animal

@@Johanneskl66 I do not have any record of what the remaining percentage is. A lot of time with registration they only recognize the primary breed. Kikos for example are considered New Zealand (100%) kiko. Purebred(93.75%) kiko and anything under is cross. Unless a person had the goat born on their farm it is difficult to say. DNA can verify parentage as long as their dna is also on file.

@@ThisNorthernLife It is a nice looking animal and if his offspring is of good quality then that's what counts

I currently have few Kikos and a few Boers + some others and some mixes.. I am in the process of finding by myself works for me.. so far i notice Boers seems to be more scare of rain is that true with yours? Thank you

So far so good. I haven’t crashed yet!

Thanks. I wasn’t trying to fool anyone. It was a joke in light of the current events. So please…. Laugh

I agree. And I feel like it probably is against the law. But probably hard to enforce that one. I get enough trash from around the area on windy days. I don’t need the extra. Haha

Just some balloon that finally decided to land. Somebody proposed to someone. I’m just wondering if they said “I do”.

Did that right away. Him and about 9 others. Had a nice meal last night.

Yea we call it the goat fort. I just built it about a month ago. There is a video of that posted as well! Thanks for watching!
