    Lost Power for 1.5 Days on day 18

    We got 2 baby chicks so far, 2 pipped, and the other one was rocking yesterday so hopefully it pips soon too and that'll be all of them. Kids are taking turns naming them so we have French Fry (Dad is a Salmon Faverolle- French breed, named Frenchie) and Cherry. Our 2 year old has decided the...

    Lost Power for 1.5 Days on day 18

    I read to keep it closed and throw towels on the to keep the warmth in so I put the biggest blanket I could on it. The next morning when we still didn't have power we started a fire in the fireplace and I took the top off to warm them up till the generators got here.

    I read to mark what side is laying up for the ones that are in the final stages and be sure to lay them that side up when you put them back. Yeah they are very late. I have a couple shaking so it'll be close to 30 days maybe by the time they are all hatched

    Thank you, that's a good idea for next time! TBH I didn't even know it was still tornado season. We have never lost power like that before or had a tornado in our town. We learned how important a sump pump battery back up is too 😆 this has been quite a learning experience

    The ones on day 6/7 should be good. I read to leave them in 55 degrees and let them sit for 7 days before putting them in an incubator and turning them so those should be viable. The 17/15 hopefully are just delayed. Do you have a candler? I got one on amazon for like $18 and it's so much...

    I have researched how to incubate eggs for the past 2 months, printed notes, made more notes, kept doing more research, borrowed an incubator, bought everything for the chicks, bought a cool candler, I'm a bit obsessive at this point. I had started with 15 eggs from the hens to sit and see if...
