I didn't notice the leg fluff on #3 so I agree probly cochin, #4 has foot feathers so cant be a wyandotte. I'm thinking they came out of a mixed bantam tub hence my guesses of mostly bantam breeds.

Being a bantam I'm guessing you have to wait. You could try wing sexing at 1 week old but its not very accurate.

I would guess khaki campbell and pekin. Cayuga are more black/grey?

#1 Porcelain D'uccle (foot feathers) or blue old english(clean feet), black tailed white japanese #2 barred or black old english or asian black #3 golden sebright #4 Mille Fleur D'uccle Those are my guesses

That is great i'm so glad she seems like she will be taking him back. Hopefully it all works out well.

i wouldnt worry to awfully much kids are pretty resilliant and amazing little things. We had two nigerian girls that mom rejected after 2 days. They came in the house hypothermic and head lolling(not far from death for most animals)...3 hrs later they had found the springs in their back legs and...

Thats pretty much what i was saying. They dont live in "families." The worse damage we have ever had was some blood on their fur along their backs from being bitten. In 3 yrs of having the warren we have never saw any other damage while/post fighting. Ears, noses, testicles, etc all fine. Maybe...

We tried feeding measured amounts but it made no difference. When you have 23 kids that are bottle kids you stop measuring, after all mom goat doesnt measure how much kids get. When the kids wake up in the morning and mom is tanked up with almost a gallon of milk they stop themselves when they...

Well considering we had 37 adult and juvenile rabbits and their young kits in a 1/4 acre warren with very minimal problems i think it is likely a smaller issue then you think it is. I have also never seen a rabbit bite another rabbits nose off whether in double gang cages or running loose in a...

The best milk breeds we have in our barn have shown to be saanen, alpine and toggenburg with our alpine girls giving less volume then the other two. However keep in mind milk volume and length of production are related to their bloodlines. Some does can milk for a full year before needing to be...

We dislike milk replacer be it "nurseall" or a goat specific one but we keep a bag in the freezer just in case, we also keep a bag of colostrum powder just in case. However we save and freeze all the goat colostrum(liquid) we can get in case we need it. We have had kids born where mom just has...

That would make no sense for people who want to use them for meat!! We breed our rabbits and grow out the kits to be eatten, replacing the parents as we breed better stock. We also had in the past and are rebullding a rabbit warren for our rabbits to continue to free range but in a smaller...
