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

[Phage]

Desperation has me asking everyone. "Can" I get a plumber? The only one to respond will charge $150 for coming out.
I had a handyman "fix" it. He changed the gasket(? the rubber thing) and told me that it's normal to drip for a few seconds and not to over tighten. It was leaking again within a week. The guy is too old and overworked to come back.
Do you know what could be wrong?

If it is a rental can you get your landlord to fix it as it is costing $$ in water.

If not you tube??

The handle of the the tap. It isn't closing the water flow.

I'm confused. Why do you need a bottle right away?

I don't - but my husbands taking my car to work, so I have to have supplies on hand. I'll give the baby 3 days of colostrum, then switch to pumped milk in a bottle. which means I'll be milking 2-3x a day for a while.

Anything baby doesn't eat, the (human) kids can have.

Also - if you wait more then a couple of days, baby goats will often refuse to bottlefeed.

You know.... I went out to give the chickens tomatoes.... and found a baby goat. LOL!!     Guess i'm in a mad dash to get a baby bottle, and some supplies to build a milking stand.

It's a boy! I don't know if she's going to have a second one or not, she was eating grain when I left her be.

@Sally Sunshine...accidentally quoted wrong post that's around 5 or so pages back, so a tag will have to do... the box in question was their 2nd brooder, but getting too small (imo) for mixed 3-5wk old chicks...21 total...

Did you see my tag for the person with sick shipped chicks?

Ya, the dying sebrights. Another passed. Down to 2 left

I own my house. I could check YouTube. I hadn't thought of it.

Ohhh. I thought you let the kid nurse, then milked her.
