I don't know, but gave up the cheap one are hard on the udder, and with only a few goats it was more work to clean than to just do it by hand

I agree, we just milk by hand. we don't have enough milkers to justify a pump.

@phageGood morning, just so you know not believing in man-made global warming does not make one a science denier. It simply means some of us don't subscribe to that particular Theory. Note I said Theory and think big bang. Most progress in science has come from those who have questioned the norm.

Sock monster got an entire winter coat this morning. No one panic, I had a backup coat at the ready.

The foundation of science is about scientists questioning scientists. Any "theory," or experiment, or result, should always trigger more questions. That's the nature of science.

Quote: Thanks! I've seen that stuff. But last night we made a lot of progress. while I was sitting in bed watching Red Green on my iPad before bed, first Brooke came up and hung out on the bed with me, including letting me scratch her head and stroke/pet her. Then, the big shocker was that Opal came up (after Brooke went off to do something else) and came right up to me, and let me pet her and scratch her head and everything. She has never let me come close to even thinking about touching her. She did that "kneading and purring" thing both on my legs and then later on my hip. I got a photo with the iPad, but it's dark. Will share later.

Quote: So I've been told...

As of last night a few more are still trying, but we have 96 chixks. Most of them are Easter Eggers with a few Heritage Rhode Islands Reds, and three Hona.
@BantyChooks (Thanks again for the links. I have been speaking to someone about Mama heating pad, and wanted to send them pictures.)

All 4 of the little chicks are doing well!!! :O I cannot believe I finally got a 100% hatch/survival rate! :O not sure what I did differently this time, besides not having shipped eggs/ too small pullet eggs.

I'm loving my little itty bitty cochin. I love Star and her mom white fluff so much, I wanted a few more from them.

Loving all the hatch news - sure I missed someone. Keep the updates coming!

I woke up with some sort of GI bug. Trying to gauge if it's just something I ate or if I will need to work form home today. I have too much to do - this sucks.

On that note, I gotta go either lay down or stare at the toilet.
