I have questions to ask:
Q1. Why does the hen not know when stop brooding? Mine keeps returning back to her nest even after taking away hatched eggs and none left.
Q2: Why do poults not know how to start feeding after several days? I force feed mine, only the resilient ones survive.

Let me start by asking following questions:

Q1. Why does the hen not know when to stop brooding? Mine keeps returning back to her nest even after taking away hatched eggs and none left.

Q2: Why do poults not know how to start feeding after several days it hatched? I force feed mine, only the resilient ones survive.
Q3: Why do hens occasionally take out some eggs with their beak from her nest? like using instinct to determine bad eggs.

I now force my hen to feed and drink. rastamouse: you need to educate us on candling you mentioned to us here.

rastamouse:
Nice boy there. Do you have hens around it?

yes, its brooding already. I lost a hen 2 months ago while it was brooding, i still dnt know cause of death. I like that hen because it usually lays up to twelve eggs. But this layed abt 9. And i have been pondering wether or not to seperate hatched poult from hen, after reading your blogg, i decided am going to seperate them.

rastamouse:
That is quite an aggressive one. A friend's tom was killed by a dog when the tom attacked the dog. Can you tell me more about your tom?

nothing much to say. Here is a pix of him.

my Tom aint gentle, it chases me and my younger ones, i have to wooz a suma-tumbling to know the boss feeding it. Sometimes it tries to challenge me but i scare it or beat it till it runs into hiding.

dyoungforester:
@samshoz, how many kits does she kindled? and the chances may be 50/50. thanks.

one kit at the moment, maybe the crossing was not adequate, as this is its second crossing since maturity.

@dyoungforester: my doe gave birth to a kitten but still stay in nest box till this morning. Is there a possibility it may kindle more?

dyoungforester:
Thanks @ samshoz for the update, truly I'm located in Abeokuta and I'm currently in Ibadan.
You can determine a pregnant rabbit by
palpation by using your hands to feel the unborn kits.
by introducing the suspected pregnant female rabbit into a buck room as the process begins the rabbit continues to make out some sounds but although it is not 100% reliable unlike the palpation method.
Thanks.

Am still trying to achieve that palpation skill.

awosmart:
any rabbit breeder who has flemish giant breed should please contact me.

Flemish giant is rare but some people have big bunnies that can be mistaken for flemish.

johnnyblaze424:

kowopefarm:

Ok, thanks.

dyoungforester, my 3wks old rabbit kitten got badly injured under its lap pit(like armpit part of the leg, i applied spirit and iodine to the wound. What do u suggest? i know healing can hard for rabbits.

Olamilec:
Oh thanks for the correction, am sorry for the grammatical blunder... My bad!

we all do at some time. Oga dyoungforester, my doe droppings get soft occasionaly but i got some hay grass.

Olamilec:
@dyoungforester @samshoz finally my doe as wake up to it responsibility by breast feeding and taking cake of it kits after false feeding it kits but now it do it on it own and also pull it furs to protect them

Its force feeding not false. Good of your rabbit, less work for you.

Olamilec:
@samshoz thank you very much

Repeat the process daily, till their eyes are open and can feed by themselves.

Olamilec:
@dyoungforester it seem my doe is not breast feeding the kits cos their stomach looks shobby so I now hold the doe legs and hands and put it down so the kits now sulu king the breast, hope I've done good? Or if their is other method let me know.

You have done the right thing, force feeding is good.

Olamilec:
I went to my rabbitry this morning and I met my doe removing and gathering it furs and preparing for birth, today has been the 29th days of her mating though it's hectic mating her but with the advise of @samshoz and @dyoungforester I took it to other rabbitry to go mate it and it was success.
I think maybe it's my buck staying with the doe for long causes the false pregnancy for my doe.
Thank God anyway waiting anxiously for my new kits.

Congrats bro.

oga Henry, main feed for good result is chicken grower mash. Some hay is ok but shouldnt be main feed. I know a woman who only feed g. Mash.

teflondoncuzo:

teflondoncuzo:

Good, i will let you know when they ready.

I remember that dude, maybe he is doing something else now. I remember him saying he also does graphic design in an interview back then Kenny Ogungbe and D1 use to anchor AIT Jamz. His rap was devoid of dirty lyrics too.
