the moms usually stops making colostrum and makes regular milk within a day or so, depending on the species probably depends on the amount they can consume and the richness and density of the milk

I did an experiment with my Janoel. Had no problem with my 28 day duck eggs upright, all of them hatched, but not one of the 35 day eggs managed to pip, though I think they would have if I had managed my humidiy better.

not one pip ? what do you mean?

start off with colostrum, then go to regular milk and start getting him to eat hay, sweet feed and hay after 10 days or so (thats what it is for calves) and give him electolytes and vitamins if he is acting weak, la 200 if you suspect infection, he NEEDS colostrum

All mammals need it! Humans included!

All Muscovy eggs died late term. Looks like humidity was too high for them.

my papas goat gave birth to twins this morning.

Very nice, congratulations!

CH mike has goats, are you supplementing anything besides milk? @mlmddh

Yes, we have a small herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats. Our kids are expected between 3/17 and 5/4.

and the cam reached the bottom of the egg on all of them? that sucks kath so many... I still say gentle sand and wash sterlize and then sterilized heat dips once a day instead of misting. I need ducks again to keep praticing, I miss all the silkie ducks I had

I will be setting chicken eggs, khaki campbells, and muscoveys tomorrow morning in my one and only bator. Gonna be a challenge

True, but that'll get your hands slapped by the BYC moderators; you don't want that

I got a slapped hand because I had a rooster named Billy Bad A**. It was a description as well as a name.
