I have some goats I need to rehome. This has been a very difficult decision, but a family member's health requires that I move to town and simplify. Goat milk is wonderful stuff and does not taste…Continue

Their current shelter will be torn down around May 14th... so if you are able to get them before that, it would be great. But if you need me to keep them a little while longer for you I could arrange some temporary shelter for them. Let me know what works for you :)

thanks for your message about the laying hens. I can definitely reserve 5 of each breed for you. I am realizing that I will need to get them to their new homes once they reach adult size, so that might be in May. Would you have housing for them then? Here is my email: chrisandbella @ yahoo. com That might be a quicker way to communicate. Thanks!
