Trying to introduce our Fainting goat in with the rest of our goats.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi...... Evan and Rebecca, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐈🐖🌱🎥👍👍👍

[@toniemmett43]

Your property and home are gorgeous. Love watching you . Hope the goats end up liking each other.

[@bevnelson3678]

Oh poor Finny. I had to laugh at Rebecca standing on the ledge trying to cut the baby’s nails. I was thinking Rebecca don’t fall off. When you got the goat around the wrong way. That Was so funny. This was an awesome video love watching you both work together.

[@charlesgrant6985]

I would like to suggest building another gate inside the barn to segregate the animals from the pan side and the storage side that way you just have to clean the animal side and not the storage side as often.Thanks for all the great KZbin content. PS maybe keep the mama girl locked up and just let the little ones out to run free for a little while

[@CountryViewAcres]

I actually filmed discussing closing off the rest of the barn with a sliding door, but It ended up being cut from the video. The video was getting too long. But I was thinking of closing of the other half, and only opening it up on rainy days.

[@ohhpaul7364]

Make a hallway box for the chicken coop so the goat cant get in. Take some plywood, make a box a bit bigger than the chicken coop door, instead of having it be a straight shot into the coop, have them make a left or right turn to go into the coop door, so have the door on the side not the end. The goat cant make the turn, the chickens can. Remove it when the goats don't fit anymore or put another pin in the sliding door so it cannot lift up for the goat once in starts sticking its head in the door. Just a guess or two to try.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I like you idea of a hallway box. I may try that, it sounds like it would work.

[@Rudt2691]

This was what I would recommend trying as well. Someone beat me to the punch. 😊

[@Tomhohenadel]

I am sure they will be the best of friends, give them time

[@CountryViewAcres]

I hope so, it has been a week now, and they are still not getting along. We have read, that it may take 2 to 3 weeks.

[@peggylynndesigns]

There is nothing wrong with forced cuddling...LOL 🤣🤣 I would also maybe suggest not allowing free roaming of the barn. It just makes for more work and they could also end up sick if they get into the feed and eat too much at one sitting.

[@jamesharless5357]

Great video!

[@inglis7086]

Jason from Cog Hill Farm did a higher chicken coop opening with a piece of wood for them to fly up to and into there coop - his was to keep the ducks out as they just gorged the chicken food with the little fainting goat that may solve your problem as she has not tried yet but if the other little ones can get in she shore can - you don't want her to kill herself with bloat

[@trwsandford]

Fainting goats are my favorite!

[@pekesrepose7363]

very happy to see your goats aren't disbudded. good choice

[@CountryViewAcres]

We felt, since the goats are so small, that the horns aren't really a danger to us, but would help them protect themselves. So we decided not to disbud.

[@pekesrepose7363]

Country View Acres 👍🏼

[@HMSSfrigate12]

tyr a shocking dog collar on the bigger goat and zap it every time she bothers Finny

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

I would recommended getting another baby goat as a friend for Finny.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I think my wife would recommend that too.! Any excuse to get another goat.

[@TheTabb1]

Love the videos!

[@loriconley3890]

Finny would have been in the dog crate in the house for the night if she were here. Lol!

[@ronsmith1364]

So watching partway I recalled this {kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYLSl4WMrNF2Y68}. Hope has enjoyed an adventurous life & she also had herd introduction issues. The comment about socializing the kids & restraining mama (her age+ size gives dominance) makes sense. Hope eventually grew & established her 'spot'. She has become a chunky petit thing. Chores + filming + editing & working (perhaps seeing some other FYI goat vlogs) Those howls at the end, maybe set up a game cam by the barn doors to check activity? You Guys are making it happen.

[@stephaniewilson3955]

It takes at least a week for new animals to be accepted in the herd.

[@hxFubar]

One step closer to "The Goats sleep at the foot of our bed tonight." video.

[@salmonhunter7414]

Maybe some vertical bars to make it narrower?

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

I do most of my chores in a nighty and muck Boots, when it's cooler out I have Pj's and muck Boots 😎

[@CountryViewAcres]

I wife wears yoga pants and muck boots all the time, but she normally shy's away from the camera. I am slowly getting her used to being filmed.

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Enjoy the content 👍. Don’t know a lot about the latest breeds of Goats but you’re correct about the pecking order. Yet is funny every now and then you end up with one that breaks the rules. As a kid we once had a nanny who ruled the herd from the time she was big enough to butt heads. Just had that never quit attitude. Her nickname was Boss she was of the LaMancha breed not sure if that’s spelled correctly.

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Well the tries were funny but you should fix the stanchion.

[@louisianausmc0331]

Y’all sound like me & my wife!! Hey why goats?? Milk? Pets?

[@CountryViewAcres]

The goats are pets, but we may experiment with milking in the future.

[@salmonhunter7414]

You can have nice clothes in the country only they smell like the country. Which is the smell of heaven to me.

[@rohanthakur1301]

I feel so bad for finny...poor baby😕

[@CountryViewAcres]

We do too! She is such a timid little goat.

[@laurabenevelli6783]

Gracie & Luke are being major bullies towards Finny.

[@johnpellegrini521]

Why dont you put a collar on the small goat

[@trwsandford]

lol, She's totally right, its your farm, you get to set the dress standards as you see fit. When the camera isn't running you could even run around nekked if you want.

[@CountryViewAcres]

That could be, but you'll never know. LOL Leaving in the country, where you can't see any neighbors is great!!!

[@cynthialinaweaver77]

I don't think gracie should be aloud to hurt her. you shouldn't let gracie alone with for right now

[@LilMisFitToo]

Poor Finney❣️ Hopefully they work it out soon.

[@Beecozz7]

Poor little Finney, I'm sure it will work out. TY

[@peggysizemore4207]

that needs to be stopped!

[@fredhart7904]

One time my wife wanted a fish bowl with 8 or 9 fish, same issue one larger fish continually chased and harassed the others, It proved to be anything, but restful and peaceful, she finally had all she could stand, She flushed the harasser down the commode, in no time one of the others took over the bullying position, A few days later, she had enough, all the rest of the fish got flushed, she never had a fish bowl again, Sometimes it’s just does not work out, sometimes you are the windshield, sometimes you are the bug, Normally I enjoy your films, however, did not enjoy this one,

[@cancermonkey7334]

I think Finny should’ve bee named Rudolph. (She’s non binary and doesn’t conform to traditional names). She isn’t going to be allowed to play any goat games with the others.

[@sharonanspach2734]

those horns will kill

[@suenorton873]

Let finny sleep in the house....🙄 why cant the goat be with the chickens?

[@CountryViewAcres]

The problem is the goat eating the chicken feed. They may gorge themselves and get sick.

[@suenorton873]

@@CountryViewAcres thanks, I did not know that.
