Hi, We are in East Kent and started off with poultry and seem to be 'branching out gradually'.  Looking forward to chatting :wave:

Hi there, my goodness TAS is spreading fast and furious, welcome to the forum.  There seem to have been a lot of new folk lately - all very welcome.  We're in Clackmannan, Central Scotland - 4 ducks, 9 chooks, 5 dogs, 1 cat and me.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Actually I was googling info on Golden Guernsey goats and ended up here.  Am an active forumer elsewhere, so have a vague idea of how its done.  However am useless with modern abbr so what is TAS? :)
ps we currently have 10 hybrid layers, quartet of LF Gold Brahma, 2 ducks, 2 Pekins, 5 cats, a Border Collie called Crystal and three teenagers.  Doesn't sound much when you write it!  Oh yes and our friend keeps some of his sheep in our field which we tend-have some pretty lambs at present

Welcome from Fife. I have 12 goats - 2 of which are Golden Guernsey's - they are beautiful and gentle goats. I also have ducks, hens, geese, ponies, dogs, a rabbit and a parrot.

Hi Everyone
Thanks for making me feel welcome.  Am currently trying to talk my husband into a couple of GG girls.  We do goats milk, so it makes sense to me to provide it for ourselves, exactly as the chickens provide the eggs-surely its just logic :goat:

Hi Hilarysmum-would also love pigs but need an area where they can make a mess and husband doesn't see anywhere suitable at present.  What colour Brahmas do you keep

Hello and welcome.

I'm another one of the many people from Scotland Falkirk area in my case. We currently had 20 goats- another addition this afternoon brings it up to 21.
