    I cannot lose these chicks! I have waited soooo long! [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    DO NOT open the bator. NO matter what. If the power goes out wrap a blanket around the whole thing. Maybe a few if you are cold. No need to freak out if it is only off for a few hours. But DO NOT open the lid. It will maintain heat.

    Relax. Go to church and pray. [​IMG]

    Meh. Power outages for a few hours only delay hatches... The only time for worry is if the power stays off for over 24 hours. [​IMG]
