Hello everyone, I have a little guy who is 7 weeks and has diarrhea. When he is out during the day it doesn't seem to be as bad, but when he is locked up at night he is just covered in the morning. I have to give him a bath almost every morning for the past 4 days. I was thinking it was him eating the duck food, which still could be a possibility, but there is no way at this moment to keep him out of it. They cannot move to their permanent home until they are big enough not to squeeze through the fencing. The only other thing that is concerning and why I am asking for some help is that his fur looks not as shiny and full as the other 2. He doesn't have any bald patches, but he defiantly looks thinner and dull. That has been changing over the past weeks. They are eating alfalfa pellets, they have minerals and Baking soda, at all times. He does eat a lot of Baking Soda and I have seen him eating the minerals also. They graze in our backyard during the day and are kept away from the duck food all day. He eats the grass, and other things around the yard all day. They are starting to drink water also.. He is acting completely normal. Running around, playing etc. Not being sick acting at all. His lids are a healthy pink and not white. Was thinking could be worms and have been looking for the signs. Any advice would be helpful. I know that their are feeders you can make for your chickens that keep the goats out. If anyone has advice on that too I would love to hear your ideas.
Thanks Janel
