Well I am stressed. Been talking to the vet and trying to keep everything under control..

Not going to say anything about being out of the woods.
My son is with them now giving more Charcoal to them 100 cc per goat and than the waiting game

Son said the hay wasnt that bad mom, so I showed him a site. He just looked at me and said oh..

What may happen ?
Will they get a toxic reaction (sepcis, blood toxin) or a gastro reaction like scours ?

No, I didn't do a Craigslist - I have a clientele (Fancy!) and one guy bought a dozen last week, and wants a dozen more. Not sure I"m going to let him have them, may hatch them myself!

Peoples are buying hens too - I have a waiting list for pullets, but not sure I want to sell anymore. I got rid of the ones I didn't like. EXCEPT for one, and I'm having a hard time catching her, wily girl!

Try classifieds here on BYC ?
You'd have to keep them penned & "pure" I do not remember if you have any other breed cockerels out there....but I do recall you've only 1 breed laying white eggs (Smart woman !!)

I don't have a step by step. I looked through all the BYC home made incubators in the learning center. And then just started to experiment.
I would check out them out and decide what kind of temp regulator and heat source you want. That was my first step.
I can get with you more later if you can get your DH on board.
We are headed out to take a DD out for a past due birthday dinner!
So glad a lot of restaurants have some GF dishes.
Yeah, that was some more recent good news for me. I am allergic to wheat gluten, all dairy, and cane sugar! Oh and cranberries, almonds, beets, mushrooms, and sesame seeds.
Thank God I am not allergic to TOMATOES! I don't think I could live without tomatoes!!! The other stuff I am learning to cut out but no tomatoes would do me in for sure!
Till later y'all!

I really want more detail on this. Did you do a step by step page on this? Or maybe saw something on Youtube? I would love to bookmark and go back and look. I have a 4' upright freezer that just died and this would be a neat project....just have to get the DH to think how "neat" it would be too.

Quote: Not to minimize it but I have seen goats eat some really nasty moldy hay and be OK. I also knew a guy who fed his goat Tansy with no problems.

good luck and hope they all turn out OK.

Don't have to keep em pure - only roos here are the Icees and as you mentioned, the only white egg layers are the Icees too! Clever Me!

Hmm, maybe set a couple myself, since the 'bator is on.

Ok, going down to collect eggs
