    Sometimes the teats are blocked and the babies will look like they are nursing but aren't getting anything. You might need to see if Janes teats have the coating off them once she has given birth. Maybe you can borrow Catherines milking machine and use the milk to bottle feed.

    Great surprise for Zoe! The new incubator no doubt will be well used! Sorry about your loss of the baby girl goat. Praying the new baby goats thrive. 🙏❤😊

    Hey, Zoe and Nick! IMO, taking the babies home is your best option. If you can’t tell what’s going on with mom’s udder, it’s best to do what y’all know is good for those precious little babies.
    Love the “2 story” incubator! When I was incubating chickens, all I could afford was a small round one. I think it held 4 eggs. It’s been 40 years or more, since then, but I’m sure that’s how I started my flock.
    Prayers for y’all, on your loss.
    💔🙏♥️

    OMGG, the one girl of Janes is so flashy!💕 I would pull them so that they have a chance to survive. Could the heat be why the little one passed away? I think you guys made the right choice and pulled them off their mamas. All for babies are so cute!💕💕 TFS! Blessings to you my friend. Have a blessed week. ✝🙏🏼💕

  • @thescarlettbandit5542
    @thescarlettbandit5542 Před měsícem +2

    Nick... now this is either a true story or a Mandela Effect rabbit hole... but the Gremlin you spoke about, his name was Stripe. 😅 Spike IS an equally epic name though! 😄
    Poor Jersey, they are beautiful babies. Her hearts into it, but her body?... the question I have is can her udder recover from this? Or does this mean breeding retirement?
    Everyone is going to have such fun feeding the little kids, and I look forward to seeing the kids tails wiggle in contentment 🥰
    Rest in peace little one 🕊
    God bless 🕊

    • @ChestnutHillsFarmstead
      @ChestnutHillsFarmstead  Před měsícem

      I talked about both of those things during the Live Wednesday! It must’ve been your comment I saw. YES!!! I’ve had that wrong all these years! When I tried to find a Gremlins clip, that’s when I found out his name was Stripe! 😂. We went with Gizmo anyway. Lol
      There’s a good chance we won’t breed Jersey again… we’ll have to discuss with our vet.

    Milk out the producing so it’s easier for them to nurse off of. That should help and then you have that milk to feed them.

  • @kmuno1783
    @kmuno1783 Před měsícem +2

    When the temperatures is up the goats will not make enough milk to feed the babies. When you consider that yes your doing the right thing, when your there at the farm let mama have them .😊

  • @debbeasher-k4764
    @debbeasher-k4764 Před měsícem

    Sometimes the mama holds back the milk until they have a specific cue.
    Fit Farmer had to run a grass mower &/or use a milking station to milk out the over full side & bottle feed the mama’s milk.
    I think Weed ‘em & Reap had some solutions too.
    They’re in AZ.❤

    In my opinion, you need to make sure the baby goats are feeding at all costs, or they will starve to death, just as before ! PLEASE don't let that happen again! Thank You Nick for trying your best to feed these babies !!! Love Ya'LL Lots ! Tim

    • @ChestnutHillsFarmstead
      @ChestnutHillsFarmstead  Před měsícem

      They’re all thriving, but still not sure what happened to the other little girl. We checked and Dolly was definitely producing milk…. We may never know.

  • @charlotteking1538

  • @reginagibson1908
    @reginagibson1908 Před měsícem +2

    One of Brooke and Jason’s goats has the same issue. I would say they can’t get their little mouths on that large teat. On the baby that died it could have been an internal issue.

  • @RaeannAmbler-jy1ey

    Maybe you need to seclude Jane with her babies. It looks like she was trying to run the other goats to go away.

  • @bernicebrown2527
    @bernicebrown2527 Před měsícem

    Don't take mom away but still bottle feed them. It will be too stressful for her to take them away. Just take them to bottle feed. You can still express as much as you can. Brooke had this same problem.

    • @ChestnutHillsFarmstead
