Sold two goats. The goat tears!! Only Mama Roxie and baby Beaux left for winter.

Keep them around 95ish in the brooder. Once you take them out of the incubator, they need to be between 90-95 for the first week.

Thank you @kajira

my daughter's fingers are swollen like 5x their normal size after getting her second sting by a bee... I kind of want to take her in to get an epi pen but my hubby is telling me im over reacting.

I used to get stung once in a while as a kid, less as an adult, but I've never had to have them treated with anything more than baking soda paste.

Do I need to lower the temp in my bator now that a couple of the chicks have hatched? I seem to remember reading somewhere that it's good to do that. Or is that for when they are all out and about?

No, you don't have to. You can.

Not over reacting, but an Epi pen is for allergic reactions that make you stop breathing. The doctor may prescribe one JIC.

Im not worried about today, i'm worried about what happens NEXT time.

Her first sting... no reaction but a small red spot.

Her second sting, swelling like 10x their normal size on fingers....

so third, or fourth time.. leads me to believe, an epi pen may be needed to hav eon hand, just in case? where 30-45 minutes from an ER if she gets stung again.

@kajira Foxlights predator control on amazon-Best money ever spent. My breeder was getting a coon a day in her live traps that took out half her show stock. I bought her one as a gift-neither of us has had a coon or predator since. I just use the battery one and move the stake about every 3rd week. It's a miracle deterrent and for $80 its a great deal, easy to use and covers a large area. as far as an epipen, its a long medical explanation but I would get her allergy tested just for it because swelling of a bite is a localized reaction and not always a true allergy.

Thanks. I'll look up the fox lights.

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.....
