now for the goats. i just loved these goats. they were all owned by the same person. he loved them very much and had a special bond with each one of them.




ok. now i have have a question. what kind of goats are these? i've never seen them before and thought they were very neat looking.



sorry the pics are so dark. it was in the evening and i didn't want to scare the animals with my flash.

Great pictures!! Not sure what kind of goats those were. It might have been that it was just their skin color (since the look to be shaved pretty short) ?? I'm not sure though

WHAT?!?! No horse pictures?!

[lute]

WHAT?!?! No horse pictures?!

Almost looks like nigerian dwarf goats, but they could be anything. I really need a farm with chickens and ducks and goats. I love looking at the animals at the county fair.

Cute pics, I wanted a pekin duck so bad, they don't live long thoguh! Very good pics, specially being in a barn!!

[buttercup132]

Aww he looks so scared!!!
They shouldnt be bringing babys out for that long with people poking at them
I bet they didnt even have hay or a blanket so they could get off that wire

The pictures are cute though.

I heard pekins can live for around 20 or more years

I was planing on getting one when we move.

[Flatcoatluver]

I heard pekins can live for around 20 or more years.

In my duck book they said pekin ducks only live about 6 months, becuase they are a meat duck and their lifespan hasn't been increased. There is no breed of ducks that live up to 20 years, more like 4 or 5 years. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have ducks and have done a lot of reserch

[lute]

i heard that Pekin ducks only live about 6mo to a year as well. my cousin had 2 that lived about 10 months.

[Argranade]

Ok I got my info on those ducks lol.

Well its true they have a short life span But....

If you get them from a breeder that sells them as pets they can live to there teens for about 6 to 8 years old.

A goose however is a better choice they can live up to 20.

Ok sorry I was wrong but at least now I know to get a goose lol.
