@Sally Sunshine
Makin groceries is like gettin em
And ya get em at the gettin place

My friend had none (coworker)
So I scrounged what I could (plus a dozen eggs)
he asked for money, but I have a policy on that

On the colostrum
We dropped 3 calves in two months at the farm, a few months back
I remember milkin em
They gave Colostrum for 3 days, at least
The first day is REALLY rich
and drops off from there

Folks will pay BIG money for it
$75 a gallon!

It's SO sweet, Like candy.

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 humidify better.

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

-Kathy
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 just put them in an turned it on... did nothing to them. This time I cleaned them and am running the humidity at 35-40%, but they're in the RCOM this time, not the Janoel.

@kwhites634 ... I spent this afternoon building and setting up my new chick feeder. Replacing the 7 lb feeder wit 2" PVC (dual 3" stacks) created a lot more room in the brooder, but my main goal is to cut down on waste. I was filling the 7 lb feed every couple of days, until I noticed at least half of the feed was mixed in the pine shavings. They can eat out of holes in the PVC, or they can scratch to get the food in the bedding, or both. The new feeder holds approximately 10 lbs of feed, so less filling... although it's much easier to fill since it's done from the outside now.

As with most all my projects it was a work in progress, so it ended up looking nothing like my original "plan" (plan = image in my head). All in all, I think it'll serve my purpose, so I'm happy with it. I may come back later and slot the top of the pipe so there's a larger feeding area. We'll see...

Ok, I got my electric bill and realized I need to switch to a heat plate instead of heat lamps. I bought a Premier! large - I think it's 16x24. Anyone else have one?

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 

he is a few hours old but I took him course he was unable to nurse
