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

[daxigait]

@mlm Mike @daxigait and who else has kept goats forever?

I had the farrier out to look at Beaux's hooves and try to shape them up for me. He worked on it a but but said he's never seen anything quite like it. He said Beaux is walking on the balls (?) of his hooves and stands like a horse does when it has foundered. His back hooves are the worst. I took more pics today, hoping we can get some suggestions? He said he's going to do some research, and that he'll try anything that is suggested. He didn't charge me for the trim.

Both back hooves.

first goats don't stand like a horses with an angle their feet should be trim straight with the Hair slash coronary band line. I would wait for Mike who has been at this much longer, but you can take toe and heel off when you trim you're going to need to take a bunch of that off but I would do it over several trims. Trim it back until you see it start to change two words pink you don't want to go to where it bleeds, but you need to start taking that back quite a bit.

My quote ended up between your pictures if you look sorry.

@SallySunshine I could have still gotten them, but I felt like I had waited long enough. The temp is starting to soar here (creeping towards the 90s) and I hate incubating in the heat. It makes it nearly impossible for me to keep the temp right. I might do it when I get an a.c. in the back of the house where I hatch, but until then I won't risk it. Besides, my hatches have lined up so perfectly. I kicked the test hatch chicks out the day my EHAL chicks started hatching and once this batch hatches I'll be able to kick out the EHAL chicks.

In addition to Dax's suggestions about how to trim the goats hooves, I would put it in a stall on a deep bed of straw and keep trimming a bit at a time till it straightens out. I'd keep it off of mud or hard ground.

I have a much tougher time keeping temps stable when it is cold.

Help please!

My lone surviving turkey egg has pipped and started to zip, but hasn't made any progress in several hours. Membrane looks tan. Should I try to moisten? Other chicken chick has hatched, and other chicken chick has a pip. Tomorrow is day 28.

she quoted you earlier and told you to help the last chick something about being at different and give you a link so hurry up and help it

Thank you, I helped it out but it has some green stuff on his butt. Should I give him a rinse?

I rinsed his butt.

Thank you! I think you did! So far, it looks good, just sleepy. To be expected after such an ordeal! Another chick has a pip, I will be watching very closely...
