Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Give her some Gas-X

These are the symptoms of bloat, a buildup of gas in the rumen. Bloat can be a real emergency, and can kill a goat quickly. Gas-X contains a surfactant, simethicone, which breaks down the gas bubbles in the goat's stomach and allows her to burp them up. If the Gas-X doesn't work, you might have to pass a stomach tube to let the gas out.

2. After you finish milking the goat does, you check on your bucks. Eeew! Your prize herdsire is urinating all over his face! What's wrong with him?

Answer: Absolutely nothing

This is why no one keeps bucks as pets :>) Bucks in rut produce a foul odor from glands on their head (which they love to rub on everything- including you!) and urinate on their face, beard and forelegs. The does think it's great cologne.

3. It's a pretty warm day, and your rabbit looks mighty hot. How should you cool him off?

Answer: Put a frozen bottle of water in his cage

Heat is a big killer of rabbits. They don't like to get wet, and a fan won't help because they don't sweat (they use their ears to radiate heat.)They will cuddle up to the cold bottle.

4. Now on to those crowing hens...yes, hens. Even the rooster looks perplexed as that cute young thing lets out a high-pitched but definite crow. What the heck is going on?

Answer: Could be any of these

Some hens crow, but always in a shriller and higher-pitched voice than a real rooster. Sometimes what you think is a pullet grows up to fool you. Sometimes a hen will have an ovarian disturbance that causes her to secrete excess testosterone and start acting like a rooster.

5. You go out to feed your horse, When he sees you, you ask him, "You want some dinner, Dobbin?" He nods his head vigorously. Should you be pleased?

Answer: No

Horses use this as a threat. He's threatening you, probably over the food. If you ignore this, the next step for you may be dodging some flailing hooves. Bad horse!

6. Your llama is looking a bit grubby these days. He has straw and leaves in his coat, and he's pretty dusty. No one wants a dirty llama- what should you do?

Answer: Get out the leaf blower

Believe it or not, the first step in grooming a llama is to blow all of the dirt and straw out of its coat. You can buy special blowers made just for this purpose- or you can use a garden-variety leaf blower!

7. Ticks! Yuck! Ticks on the dog, ticks on the cat, ticks on you! Which of the following farmyard friends will be of the most help in combating this pestilence?

Answer: Guinea fowl

Don't know what a guinea fowl is? It's slightly smaller than a chicken, with lovely plumage, an ugly bald face, and a noisy call. They are great watchdogs and will even kill snakes and mice.

8. You're afraid that your chickens' eggshells might be getting a mite weak. What can you add to their diet to prevent this?

Answer: Oystershell

Oystershells contain a lot of calcium, which hens need to lay strong eggs. It is sold ground, and the hens love to peck at it.

9. You have no end of trouble with those hens! Now your new hens are laying blue eggs! Not white, not brown...turquoise blue! What is going on?

Answer: They must be Araucana crosses

Araucanas are a breed of chicken that lays colored eggs- usually in the range from light turquoise to teal.

Answer: The peacock

Peacocks are beautiful, but they make a godawful racket!
