As a Cal king breeder, ITS POSSIBLE, that first clutch animals could be weak, or second. It could happen, maybe, possible. ETC

I am sorry, but there is no merit in that type of thinking. Of course anything is possible. Its not about what "could" happen. Saying that is just about like saying nothing, no, its worse.

It actually is about what does happen. Not what may/possibly/could happen. The strength of neonates is based on the strength of the parents. And their strength is based on good husbandry. That was coined by Ernie Wagner, many many many years ago.

You see, before good husbandry came about, not so good husbandry was normal. And weak neonates were common. And there were no second clutches.

Strong husbandry prevents weak neonates, from any clutch. That should be your goal.

If you want to warn someone, you should say, only purchase strong healthy neonates that are progressing. That is, already growing. That would be good advice, not second clutch non-sense. Thank you
