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

[BantyChooks]

And why are you laughing at me????????

I am thinking of the welfare of the unborn chicks.

'cos I'm picturing the panic attack you'd have if you saw my incubation practises. That is, unless I'm using a turner in which case I pretty much forget them for 18 days.

I've never heard of this being a concern. Triplets and quads are rather common with nigerian dwarfs.

I know they have them much more often, but I don't know how they do. I can only speak from Nubian, Saanen, Boer, and crosses. I just limit the numbers on a doe, but you are right they don't have them like the dwarfs. Dragonfly is an exception. She had quads last year and triplets the year before according to the previous owner.

Triplets and quads are rather common with nigerian dwarfs.

We have been lucky to have twins each season, quads/trips are SO tiny.. I am comforted know there is one teet for each kid as well.

Do you have two bags of colostrum ready? My vet gives me two types to feed back to back if I need it. I will this year just for my CAE positive doe since I have to pull her kids.

I was new at milking and wasnt a great time to try to get it lol
