day olds on up to 8 weeks.???? Do they all survive?
It has worked for 6,000 years in the wild, so I figured it would work for me. To tell you the truth though, I really don't know what all they eat. I just know that they find it. Dandelions and clovers are plants that I've seen them eating, but the probably eat other things.
And it's day-old until winter... I feed them corn over the winter until the greenery re-appears.
And yes, they all survive. All casualties are un-related to nutrition; if they die, they die from predation, epidemic, hardware disease, but not malnurishment. Mama will find everything they need to eat, and teach it to them, and they'll grow up and find it themselves.
