    Goat appears to be sick/weak

    To sum this up, quickly: She was a bit lethargic, but improved today and has moved around more- never far into the pasture though. She may or may not have vomited, but I strongly believe she didn't since the only evidence I had was a wet/dirty jaw and mouth. She wasn't very vocal, but also...

    6 days old!

    only 3 of the eight eggs ended up hatching, but that's alright by me. the 2 eggs that haven't hatched i assume will not hatch at all. not sure what happened to them, but, they haven't even pipped. however, the 3 that did are now 6 days old, and they're all so sweet! to me, at least. they really...

    heated room for a brooder?

    my dad got the wrong kind of bulb for our heat lamp. he got a red LED bulb, which clearly does not give off any useful amount of heat whatsoever. let me make it clear that i do not agree with using a heater at all. i would much rather have a heat lamp for them, the idea of a heater- a regular...

    chick doesnt seem to want to hatch- should i worry?

    thought I should get this info out here right away- the chick can definitely breathe. its beak has poked out many times and it has chirped and wiggled a few times. so, its alive. im not sure if its stuck, or just resting. it's two siblings, Mori and the drowsiest chick I've ever met, had a...

    update on my first batch!

    i forget if i've mentioned, i probably have, but out of the initial 8 eggs- 5 turned out to be fertile. and as far as i'm concerned, all are doing great! today is day 20! from what i've heard, today they should've internally pipped, though i haven't checked. i might do that in a few minutes...

    what do you guys do with infertile eggs?

    tomorrow will mark day 14 of incubating, and i'm happy to announce that out of the 8 eggs, 5 of them have developed so far!! 3, however, seem to be infertile. upon asking my dad the other day, he said we will just toss the infertile eggs out into the woods. now i know there aren't any chicks in...

    practically day 2- humidity.. may have been too high

    my dad woke me up this morning at 7am and gave me an independent thermometer/hydrometer. not the most thrilling thing to be woken up for, but, it meant i could finally check the humidity in the incubator, and to see if the temperature is right. well, i did put it in the incubator. temperature...
