hey...i was wondering once the eggs hatch how many days untill u start feeding them and then how often do u feed them?



Srry for the newb question..lol
 
If the eggs pip on day 0, then usually they come out on day 1, may eat during the first couple days, but most refuse, go into shed by day 3 or so, shed by day 7, and feed day 8 +.

That's the general schedule mine follow.
 
As this is my first year hatching, I've been talking to a lot of other corn people about what they do and from what I hear, many let them go for 2½-3 weeks before their first feed as they're still absorbing nutrients from the yolk sack.

I think I'm doing something like you and offering food the day after their first shed.
