Wee update...
Tuesday 00:01am - We have been trying many different substrates to tempt wee Bali into being a gid muncher. Turns out Russian cottage cheese or TVOROG (
) WORKS FAMOUSLY!!!
!
( It had been spelling it incorrectly in a previous post
we used it in our last brood too..)
It is made by curdling boiled milk with lemon juice and then straining through muslim.
Not a balanced diet. But Its a gateway in tae munchin for wee Bali!
02:00pm wi a fully belly is weigh in...
Edit: Balis weight is still going up. she just passed 100grams. She has access to chick crumb and tvorag 24/7. We find she readily excepts tvorag by hand, so we are intermittently offering from the fingertips.
When we show the little ones to our five and half week old ducks, Kroshka takes immediate interest, ( she is cute but somewhere behind that fluffy exterior is the mind of a dinosaur, in her case T-Rex!
) we dont want to give any opportunity for bullying so we are introducing them for 5 mins at a time under strict observation and increasing the frequency daily.
A what age should we be taking them out the brooder ( in the back kitchen ) and into the wendy house with the others? The wendy house has a heat lamp. Bali (101g) 7 days old now. Ooty (136g) 9 days old.
