Thanks. He's a trip. He loves the tire swing I hung for him. He wants you to swing it for him to ram. And he will do it for hours.
We must see pics or video of the goat playing with the swing!
I don't think I can upload video via tapatalk with my phone. But I will definitely try an get some pics up when my lady gets home from Kentucky to take some.
I'll bring a couple toys...
I'll be up there at 9 but let me know when you can make it. We have 3-4 hours of work. The club's calendar is open so the ranges should be open as well.. Be thrilled to have you as my guest.
We are both at the far SW corner of OH. About 200 miles give or take per Google maps.
Well have to plan something for the summer. Thats a doable trip if we can make a day of it. ;-D
Heck i can even bring some bows and crossbows to mix it up
I'm game. Maybe make it a halfway trip if we can figure out where there is a range in the middle...
I'm not too far away. Maybe sometime I can get down there. Have to see what this new job has in store.
OA, sounds great! I can't get out of here that early, but I'll let you know! I'm excited, I almost never have free time and haven't been able to do any shooting in I don't know how long!!!
MikeD, I used to sometimes work up north in Toledo, seems like it was 3 1/2 or maybe 4 hours, that was from cincy at the time... It would be AWESOME to get together!
And to stay on topic, here's a random chicken. And a duck. LOL!

For what it's worth, I absolutely don't care about being off topic here.
I just wanted a reason to post another chicken pick!
Incidentally, the Rhode Island Reds and the duck are BFFs. They all go together, like their own little flock.

Ugh, that sux about the raccoons. I'm really very surprised we haven't lost any to predators.
We did lose a few to one of our own dogs. She'd chase anything that ran from her, catch it, and kill it. So one young hen, one layer, and a duck.
This is our red bourbon turkey, Lucy.
One of our Rhode Island Red hens. I don know her name.
One of the lovely little Black Copper Marans. She has a name, but I don't know hers either.
One more of the Marans. Her name is Beauty, but she recently died by getting her head stuck in a wooden crate and then broke her neck. Too bad cuz she was among the best specimen of the hens we had. It's difficult to get a black copper hen with that much copper on the neck and have the feathered shanks. She was actually a show quality bird and others from her lines had been winning at shows.
We have two roosters right now. Handsome George pictured above, he's a Blue Copper Marans, and we have another named Henry who is a Black Copper Marans. The blue will produce both blue and black copper. This spring we have to gets the birds separated into groups and the roosters with the hens we want bred.
We can breed the blue copper to Rhode Island Reds to produce a hybrid called a blue belle. We'll see how all that goes.
We also have a few dual purpose birds called Black Javas. I think they're actually considered endangered, there are only about 3 or 400 in the US as I understand. They're larger with small tight combs and very hardy! Sorry, I can't find pics of the Javas.
Both our roosters have large combs and both had frostbite on said combs. But, the guy we got them from said its fortunate that's all that happened as the Marans tend to be very protective of the flock and have been known to stand guard all night outside the coop and freeze to death. He lost one or two this way this year.
Bourbon turkey, they have those?!
I've seen bourbon chicken at the mall food court, but I always assumed that was some kind of sauce...
raccoons would get ours, one night one or two got in the coop and took the heads off about 10 of them in 1 or 2 minutes
