My does kindled over the weekend. Had 2 that kindled. Here is a pic of one litter. She had 9 and when i went out tonight to do a thorough check I seen what looked to be a broken blue and a solid blue! So excited! My other doe had 8 kits
Just got another batch of chicks! 4 Buckeyes and 1 meal maker she told me it was a jersey giant. They are the sweetest little things too!
Have to take some better pics later
I recently had a first time doe that lost all of her kits. She dried up on her own. I kept checking her and rubbing her belly to make sure for infection but none happened. I would just keep an eye on her she should dry up fine.
Oh I envy you! It was -15 this morning but the girls are still doing great. It is supposed to be even colder on Thursday night. Definitely not looking forward to that! I want to just :smack this winter away! Come on spring! Lol
Adorable! :love they look fat and happy :D I would clean out most I know that the kits eat moms poo because it gives them the microbes and whatnot for good digestion (anyone can correct me if I'm wrong). Your doing a phenomenal job though!
Yay! So sorry for the single loss. My one doe only ever has 3 or 4 kits every time. Hopefully yours has a bigger one next time :fl. It is always exciting to have new babies!
It's so good to hear from you shay! So sorry for all the losses and you are in my prayers for all of your problems. And congrats on the little one coming!
I don't know about that I have always had more than one doe kindle at the same time so I guess they always smell others on me lol. I would look at the mommy first and see if she does the same thing. I also have a buck that kind of shys away but has been getting better! My other buck is a little...
Oh I know my one doe pulls fur right before she kindles. one takes EVERYTHING out of the nest box and puts it back in with fur pulling usually 2 days before kindling. my first time mommy just 3 weeks ago pulled the day before. They are a mystery! and yes keep us posted! praying for little ones!
So sorry to hear that about your chickens. All of my girls and 1 boy are from Meyer and all are sweet and docile (and I didn't get really hands on with some batches). I think its a real gamble with any chickens not just hatchery birds. My ee's lay green and blue which is very pretty but that is...
