Day 16: Adventures in Power Failure

[Crazed Chicken Lass]

I'm starting to get nervous/excited! I am not going to be able to SLEEP this weekend!

At least this seems to be curing my baby itch...LOL

I've been wondering about that, the eggs possibly taking longer to hatch now.

What did you do when your power was out? Did you cover the bator with blankets or anything? How low did your temp get?

Several rockers this morning and one of the arucauna eggs PIPPED!!!!

And now I have to go to work.....UUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!! How will I survive the next 9 hours??!!!

I am amazed.....I have THREE pipped, several rocking, and you can hear peeping! And I was so worried...

I was so nervous when that storm came through Charlotte! I was praying the power would stay on.....it did, but the limbs were sure hanging low everywhere!

A great story; determination and a never give-up attitude on your part and it just shows what resiliency eggs 7 chicks can have; you just never know.

I save my pictures on www.photobucket.com; I save them as "medium size" -- you must create an account with your password, upload the picture to photobucket & save. Then copy the image and paste on your reply here.

Can't wait to see your pics

Good Luck with you and your new chicks!

I think the easiest thing to do in lieu of pics is to direct everyone to my blog:
