Good plan! I want to get 1-2 registered doelings in the spring, they'll be the "new babies" for the summer program, and have everyone bred in December. Then we can have camp babies that I can sell in the fall to pay for winter feed. That's my tentative plan... But my plans never usually work that well. :/ I'm a hands-on mistake maker.

I am having to need my Saanen early since we are unsure of how much udder function Daisy will have. My vet said it is easier to do bottle babies when it is cold. I did not plan to breed for babies this early. I just hope February is not a bad one.

Hi everyone. Back to work but bad news. Mri results came back and if they call you before your appointment, its never good news.I have this: Complex tearing of the triangular fibrocartilage. Its about as good as it sounds. basically the group of cartilage and surrounding tissues/fibers that stabilizes the hand to the wrist is jacked up and why I have no coordination or grip strength and severe intermittent pain. I was immediately place in a hand and wrist brace/stabilizer until I can see a hand surgeon to determine the severity and course of treatment-anywhere from a mega-brace & steroid and pain injections to a cast to surgery. I am still able to desk duty for now and I am teaching the new grads, nurses and techs quite a bit. But I am having my pity party right now and if one more person tells me "well at least your not left handed" I am going to tie their arm behind their back and challenge them to carry a lunch tray, wash their hair, make a meatloaf....... I'm sorry to be negative and vent but this is far from anything I ever expected.....

OKay, So. 4 out of 5 Chicks hatched now, the last one pipless (it is alive though)

Is it wise to let all 4 of the new soccer team kick their sibling around? Or take them out and transfer to the brooder once all are fluffed up to let the lone baby hatch in peace?

I think they should all be okay together, but I'm not sure.

So, yesterday was day 7 of my incubation of 7 eggs (aruacuna eggs, though father is a light sussex), and when candling I could only see veins in one egg....the other egg shells are kinda dark, and Im not all that experienced at this...there appeared to be air cells in most the other eggs though...

Should I consider all but the veiny egg to be clear and toss them, or should I keep them a little longer and hope?

This is only my second time incubating eggs so I'm a little lost at this point...any advice would be helpful.
