My Christmas chicks are spending their first night without a light on. Its only supposed to be in the 40/50 range tonight, they'll pile and be fine I hope. I need them ready to be kicked out to their outside pen by next Friday when my next batch gets here ( two weeks early!)

Don't really like tossing them out this early, but I can run a lamp out there if it gets back into the 20/30 range.

It was 80 yesterday, and high 70s today. Sweated like a dog working on pens.

If I could post a picture from my phone of the step by step I would. Seven hours of framing, fighting, bleeding, and yelling at my cheap drill bits later I got accomplished what can be seen on my blog page thing. Not much, except I did that solo. LOL

Sounds like they will be fine ...You gave me a panic attack ..at 1st ..As I live in the frigid State of New York ..
supposed to be down near zero tonight ..
And they would be dead chickcicles here ...but I see you are in Texas ...so it is okay

Thanks ...I love the little girl ...first chick I ever took a shower with LOL or I should say she took a shower with me
this is her after her shower .. I had to blow dry her with a hair dyer after that she was freezing...She was one lonely chick & would scream if I got out of her sight ...which is why she ended up in the shower with me ..she jumped right in .

No heart attacks!! We've been in the 80s all week!

That chick is adorable. All wet from its attempt at being human.

Whoa! Quite a difference in temp. Do you mind me asking where are you getting birds that are being sent 2 weeks early? I ask because I have heard this about some hatcheries.
