Need Some Help With Bottle Feeding Kids

The chicken feed would kill them if you keep letting them eat it. Just offer some hay and a little grain where they can get at it.

Are you giving a coccidia prevention? With the stress on these babies at this age I can just about guarantee they will be ruined if you do not start them on something right now.

Pepsi bottles (16 oz and 20 oz) fit the Pritchard nipples.

I'm using Dimethox M in the first bottle of the day for the kids. Soooooo easy to prevent cocci that way.

No I wouldn't try to tube feed if you don't know how and they are taking the bottle. Do you have any grain meant for goats there? We use some goat feed called noble goat and it has a cocci preventative in it. You still need the other cocci prevention too though. We use baycox now because it's easy for us to get in the babies (small dose sizes and they like the flavor) and works! The dimethox works too they just have to take more.
