Show me your barn. Please...

What nice barns everyone has, back40 I'm going to come 'borrow' those altered wheelbarrows and a few of those ducks, k?

Our goats live in a few different places, it's a work in progress.
They do the job!
The older goats (mama and star) sleep in the chicken yard (and have finally decided it's okay to sleep in the coop). There is also feed/hay storage area too. (pardon the mess, this is from Spring when we had just finished getting it up).



After a few months of no rain...


The "babies" live in large bay at the back of our garage at night, hubby fenced it in for the chickens when they were still too young to go out but old enough to not be in the brooder. Does the job for now, but wasn't built for goats. If we continue to use the area, it will need some reinforcing.





The eventual plan is to the opposite bay (not closed off) and have it run to the fenced in area we're working on for them. We may still need the chicken area or the other bay for kidding, etc. And a 3 sided job out in the forested area for them. Like I said, work in progress I jumped the gun on the goats about 5mo early, so we weren't really ready as far as exactly what their housing would be.

Thanks Michele & Queen Bee, I was not going to post them because I never think it's as nice as all of yours plus if you noticed the bird poo in the barn, the barn swallows are in their all the time & the guinnes too but I do try & keep the guinnes poo cleaned up.

MathewB, we use pallets for everything we can here too. That's what all of our stall walls & gates are made from in the barn.

SuzyQ, your goats are so cute & your setup is nice too. Hatching out some duck eggs next year & I'll be happy to send you some eggs for the incubator if you remind me in the spring.

Hubby made a few of these, haven't put them out yet, was worried about moisture...do you have an issue with rain?

Oohhh, I'll have to remember, thanks

we use half of a 4 car garage one whole bay is penned off for the ladies we use the deep bedding method and clean twice a year

we have a separate pen for the kids
and our milking stand in the other half.
During the day when weather permits we take them out to pasture

Deja Moo; The feeling I've heard this bull before.

Ours are turned towards the fence because when it rains it also blows. It usually only rains a few times a year here. It usually comes from the west. The back of the feeder does a good job of protecting it. I only put a week or so worth of minerals etc in them. They like everything better fresh. Hubby changed the wire that he hung them with to metal hose clamps.
