I do apologize to anyone that really doesn't want to see my leg. I would apologize to the others, but don't want to get into trouble for suggesting anything.

That doesn't look too awful bad. Should be fine in a day or two

You have sone broose ther, wash it with soap and if you have some antiseptic one, its better, rub there some Iodine or some other antiseptic liquid. About the swollen if you can move you knee, it will pass in ssveral days.

  Thank you, Westley!

You are welcome dear!

Here is your OJ, Dax!







I am getting turkeys again today!

Not these ones (I have no idea what is up with the woman that has my BR!

) but three mutts. They will work for dinners this year. I don't plan on breeding mutts when I can have pure, but who knows? This is going to be an interesting year!

Good Morning Everyone!

Oh! Nearly forgot! Today is day 7 for the binbator batch!

I gotta lockdown my eggs sometime soon.

It's raining. AGAIN. Did the chicken chores in the pouring rain, which was SO much fun. NOT.

Good Post!
Missed this - I have a Brinsea Octagon 20 and an R-Com 20. I have liked the Brinsea's control for incubation (don't forget to calibrate, though!), and the humidity pump is awesome. But it WAS hard to clean after hatch, and it was also super cramped to hatch in. I got malpos from my R-Com (Sally thinks some R-Com 20s are off kilter...), so, wanting to still get use out of it, I incubate in the Brinsea and hatch in the R-Com (great viewing area and access, too). R-Com is also SUPER easy to clean after a hatch (which is when things get really gross), in my experience.

(For whatever all that's worth...

)

Re: 'bator cleaning - it certainly couldn't hurt. I don't know about soaking in bleach for hours, because many mechanical components will not stand up to that (as well as many other materials). When we have sensitive equipment in the hospital lab that must be cleaned with bleach, we soak/spray/cover with a 10% solution of bleach for about 10-15 minutes. Then we spray with 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and wipe it all down carefully. That rinses off the bleach and through evaporation the alcohol carries any last little bit off.

Yes, ma'am, homemade chocolate ice cream. You see there was a sale on raw heavy cream at my supplier, and I had a lot of Valrhona chocolate cocoa powder from a bulk purchase a couple years ago. Then there were all these egg yolks available all the time....

I have a freezer full of the stuff. I tried to put it into small portion containers, but it's proving hard to stay out of...

Goat version BANTI DISEASE!! @casportpony CURE PLEASE??? Mollasses toast with a tall glass of goats milk and a VIT C tablet?

Yeah, soaking in bleach might be problematic for styrofoam, so you can try the bleach spray-wait-alcohol thing. You might want to check an external corner surface for alcohol - I have no recall of how or if styrofoam reacts with alcohol at all. (I'm just naturally cautious).

Don't forget to sanitize everything that goes in there, though. That means the thermometer, hygrometer, sponges (boiling water will do that), any little bowls or containers that go in there, and every last little lego. If not sanitized, then make sure they're really clean. (You use a lot of legos - maybe soak them?) Yes, I realize a broody hen's butt is not a sterile environment, but you've had stinky eggs (and there might be something on one of the devices in there), and you want a better hatch rate...

Ha ha - you give me Banti Disease, but I give you IceCreamItis...

When I started on this thread, the only way I could deal with all the good info people shared was to keep a Word document open and cut and paste posts into it and save it in my "chicken" folder.
