Pioneer Chicken
True BYH Addict
One of my does kidded quads early this morning. I knew beforehand that I'd have to take all but two kids if she had that many because she does not have the capacity to support more than two. I did milk/ have been milking her colostrum and bottle feeding it to the two kids I took. It won't be long till I need a new milk source for these kids. To be honest, I'm a little lot freaked out trying the regular store cow's milk again. I was okay using the whole cow's milk from the store last year and only had one mild case of constipation which cleared up pretty quickly. However, this year, I'm pretty sure my first little kid had trouble with digesting it and got badly constipated. I have the opportunity to purchase raw cow's milk. Is this okay to give my bottle babies till I start milking my other two does? Will the kids handle it well? Is there anything I need to do to the milk? Am I being too paranoid? Thanks a lot for your help. ~PC
