And the downside of raising poultry in South Africa

So living in Africa is incredible until the power goes out when you have 3 day old chicks in the brooder?! And a couple of hopefully eggs still in the incubator! Restoration time unknown.

Ouch, no generator I guess. If you have a gas water heater you can fill up some water bottles with hot water so the chick's can snuggle against them to keep warm. Depending on how many you have. Or use a propane heater. Or start a fire, lol.... hopefully it will come back on quick

Give the chicks a huddle box to pile with a warm water bottle in it so they can use it warm up.
How many eggs are left?
Seriously, people have been known to keep them in their cleavage... I know. I know. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

I have pretty decent pecs but I doubt they will help keep the eggs warm. LOL! There are 4 eggs left. I have added two warm water bottles for the chicks so hope that's okay....at least we still have water!

What a perfect opportunity to find a woman to help you. What kind of woman would say no to a request like that to save unhatched chickens?!? Use your brain man.

I didn't think of that...Now I kinda wish there was a couple dozen more eggs....
