Selling the birds for meat 🍖 instead of selling the meat from the bird is definitely the way to go. The money is in the eggs. I sell a good laying hen for around $20 however.

This is sick. no pain killer??
@southofsanityfarms5752Күн бұрын
We do give a banamine shot for pain and we comfort them as much as possible and do it as quick as possible. I wish we had access to stronger meds right now but that is what the vet will prescribe for us at this point and it is what they use at the clinic if they do it there. Farming is hard, and we believe this is important for people to know about as a decision as hard as it is to do and watch. We're always trying to learn more ourselves too. We absolutely hate doing this and care for our goats greatly but we have seen them die on a friend's farm by getting their heads stuck in the fences with horns and we definitely don't want that:(

@Eggdine2 күн бұрын
I can tell you care greatly for your goats but surely anyone can see that this is not an acceptable level of pain control. There needs to be local anaesthetic. An injection of banamine would be like popping some ibuprofen before receiving a hot iron to your skin. It’s really not enough especially when you’re repeating the action multiple times each side.
@southofsanityfarms5752Күн бұрын
We would love to be able to do lidocaine, Unfortunately, Lidocaine can be toxic to goat kids and the dose toxicity is low so that is why they won't prescribe it and do banamine at the clinic. See our above response to other comments as to banamine and our care, etc. Thank you for your comment, we do care deeply about them:)

How do the changing seasons change your income/cost ratio? Quail typically stop laying during the winter unless you are providing supplemental light. So I was thinking your quail boom is just in the spring/summer and slows down the rest of the year?
@southofsanityfarms57525 күн бұрын
@@hollywhited8495 they slowed down in late fall and we added supplemental light and after a few weeks they were back up to regular production. We did just have some very cold weather for our part of the country a few weeks ago and since then, production has been slower. Not sure if it was just the coldness or maybe the stress of water lines freezing and not having 24/7 access to water. But this week has been nice and we are getting more eggs.

I have purchased four does from her over the past ten years and have been very impressed and happy with the goats I bought. I bought registered does so I knew the bloodline. I don’t show, I just want milk for my family, milk for cheese and milk for soap. I also make candy with it. I really appreciate all of your videos.
