Pipped in the wrong spot! What do I do?

The air cell is on the opposite end of where he broke through. I can hear him peeping. The egg is bumping around. I don't know how long it's been. Will he be ok? Do I let him go? Do I intervene?

Someone else will copy malpo info for you, I'm mobile so can't. They usually hatch fine w/o help, just take a bit longer cause they're both internal and external.

As long as temp and humidity are where they should be leave it alone.

I would like to try using goats milk for soap. I don't usually enjoy goat cheese, so I'm not thinking of consumption fight now. But it would be fun to make goat butter, if that's even a thing.

Most breeds of goat don't make enough cream for butter since it is more naturally homogenized than cows milk. It makes great yogurt, cheese, etc. You can share milk with the kids and then milk once a day still after weaning. I have a doe that is a gallon plus a day milker, but I choose not to take it all taking a little less progressively until she is where I want her around 4-5 cups. I then freeze any extra for cooking later, or like right now I am saving milk for next year's babies since I have a doe that haschad udder problems and I may need the milk to bottle feed. I can milk her a couple of months into her pregnancy so I should be able to store a bunch.
You can even go to every other day with your milking, but when it gets real hot or towards breeding season they may dry up.

Quote: My paternal grandmother was diabetic; so was my mother. My brother and one sister are. Doc told me years ago I'm borderline...no meds, just watch the sugar intake. I quit sodas years ago, taken my coffee black for 50 years, very seldom eat a candy bar. I dearly love iced green tea with a taste of sugar (half the regular amount), but I've even replaced that, for now, with ice water, in an effort to lose a few pounds. Its working. I also like my cookies and ice cream. I should limit myself more, but likely won't, unless forced into it. So far, so good

It makes wonderful soap and ice cream, and mozzarella cheese!

Phil-check out the study on vitamin D and asthma...... Heard it really helps!!!

I was very low on vitamin D.... But am on vitamin D pills now.

here comes the metformin  This season has been bad for allergy asthma because last winter we didn't have a "deep freeze" not sure where up north you are but it was a mild winter here and we saw so much more asthma, copd, pneumonia because of it.... Hope you feel better

We got cold.... Was somewhat mild..... But we hit 26 below and had cold weather..... But overall was mild for here

I need to learn a lot more before I get to that point. Roxie HATES being handled, so the milk I got from her was full of hair. I also don't know what I'm doing, so we're both suffering. When I sell the second baby I'll have to milk her a little to relieve pressure while she dries up? That's what my neighbor said.
