Aren't those bulbs kinda big?

Banti not sure why quotes are not working, but remember to install it just a tad below the light bulbs so you dont get hot spots under them. 

Okey dokey!!

Well i too thought i heard peeping at work today! Oh wait...I did!!! Post office called and I ran to pick up my babies that arrived from TN. I was afraid they were too cold as here in Texas last night and this morning it was in the 40s and 50s. I brought them to the hospital (i am a nurse)gave them water and stowed them away in the bosses office who happened to be off today

and I made them a heat pack with a biohazard bag and hot solidifier. They drank and got quiet. Ate really good when I got home. 1 didnt survive the trip a tiny splash isbar. Another splash doesnt look to good. I have her in a brood box by herself her wing is droopy and she is having a hard time standing. Not sure if she is just weak or if she might have a broken leg or wing.

I am so grateful the PO called and were able to provide life support for them. It was 85 when they left TN. I laid awake last night thinking about those little girls. Hoping the injured one recovers well.

Yeah, only ones I had though. I'll probably replace them in the near future.

Bator looks good by the way. Congrats on the Jace babies as well.

These are mostly just to make sure I wired correctly!
