It made me think about the baby bunnies that are bought for kids for an Easter pet. By August, Mom is the only one changing the litter box. By December, you find them at the Humane Society. I love my goats. They are going to be running around getting into mischief for the rest of their natural days on my hobby farm.
There is a goat and chicken movement around Seattle. People are getting goats for clearing brush or because the kid was the cutest thing they've ever seen. Some folks want to milk. What happens when your goats run out of brush to eat? Many people are getting chickens for eggs. What happens when the chicken stops laying?
I want to use my hobby farm as an education center for the greater Seattle area. I want people to come take classes to learn about an animal BEFORE they get one. I will give you an honest reality of what it is like to take care of pigs, goats, chickens and horses. I will send you home with reading material on that particular animal and if you decide you are ready to take on the challenge, I will have a forum, help desk for challenges you may run into.
You may get answers to:
Is you goat projectile vomiting?
Is your chicken not moving or sleeping a lot?
Is your goat crying like it is on fire?
Is your chicken crowing?
Did your chicken lose it's feathers?
Is your goat starting to stink like urine?
I got this. I have had so many learning experiences with these animals. I wish I had a place to learn from or a person to go to. I am by no means an expert, but I am a jack of all trades. I want to help people find the best way to hobby farm. I want the animals to have happy lives and homes until their time is done.
Is this something people would be interested in?
Speak up! I will get some work done this summer on the farm and hopefully by next summer I will be ready to take this on. I may start with a few starter classes this summer if I get enough interest.
