Lock Down!!!?!?!?!?!?!

Tink is right. Be gentle on yourself. We learn as we go and those fragile chicks put a person on a steep learning curve. The drafts are incomprehensibly dangerous. When our broody hen was allowed to incubate an egg she hovered over that little thing in the heat of Texas in May. We are not hens, and so we have little instinct to draw on. Cherish your magnificent seven--or is it eight? If shrink wrapped made it out, that's a worthy rescue to remember.

Thanks guys. I'm looking at it as a "live and learn" situation. There are 7 healthy and happy babies running around the brooder and the 1 still in the incubator....seems to be doing okay. It's walking around in there and seems to be drying off a little bit. We'll see what happens with it.
