EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

Hello again Banty!  Good to see everyone again - old & new!     I'm so itching to hatch eggs again - so am just re-reading & re-learning.....but I suppose it's like riding a bike, right?

I have a great idea... Never stop hatching! You'll never have to re-learn anything.

She is hideous. She knows it.

Goat question - if I have to make a trip, that will result in me skipping a feeding for the baby goats, can I feed them a little more at breakfast time to compensate for it, and a little bigger dinner?

I don't want to over-feed them and cause any problems, but skipping a mid-day feeding for young goats isn't great, either.

They can do three a day after the first week if necessary. Mine get 3 feedings a day, and then I leave a Caprine styled bucket feeder with another feeding in it for them during the day. If you don't have that one day won't kill them. You can see them three feeding set up to 20 ounces a day so I guess it depends on what they are currently eating and when.

Hey all

I'm in trouble here...




I knew nothing about this before today. I buy 2, 100lb bags of feed every 2 weeks here. So, now I have my first slip for 10 CX and by my calculations, I'll be there at least 3 more times for feed before april 15th, which means about 40 CX lol
