Kids due to be slaughtered Thursday, 1 scouring
« on: August 25, 2013, 12:52:29 pm »
I've booked in 3 kids for Thursday - now one is scouring a bit - should I worry or just feed a lot of hay?  I don't want to worm obviously because of withdrawal time (very long for organic).

Also, the billy got in with the does this morning (grrrrrrrrrr), he's back in with the male kids - who are now shag-a-lagging each other like the world is about to end!  Should I worry about meat taint and if so how long have I got?

I'm going to drench with the rehydrate stuff, pen and feed hay - fingers crossed....

Maybe some kaolin and morphine for the scours... And then just hay!
