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?!

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.

I heard pekins can live for around 20 or more years

I was planing on getting one when we move.

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

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.

Realy? I have never met a mean goose before lol except when they bit my fingers for the food and if they have babies.

Hopefuly I can put some love into a goose If I get one lol.

I hope you'd raise the goose from a baby. They can make you wish poultry could be neutered.
