Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to reply so far. We are feeling very discouraged but ready to try making changes.
We will try a different heater which may be causing an electrical issue. I could definitely be convinced that the heater could have a short but I don't think it is our house because we had the chicks on two different floors when it happened. The two outlets used were on separate breakers. When we had the brooder tote we had it in our dining room on the main floor where the first batch expired. Once the second batch was moved to the kiddie pool we had to move them to our finished basement.
Also, would there be anything wrong with buying gallon jugs of bottled water for the chicks instead of using our well water assuming it was something to do with that?
Just for the heck of it we will use a different brand of pine shavings since we already have it on hand.
