I am feeling so low. Most of you know I am experiencing terrible luck this year with my eggs and babies.
Backstory for last night, we have company coming so been trying to keep house clean. Also my screen door fell off and I finally got it back on but not properly. It is one that doesn't quite fit but the handyman put it in for us as a "make-do" when he put in the $1100 sliding glass door,we told we don't use a/c when it's nice out and apparently it didn't come with one. (Apparently another one of those folks that use sir 24/7 as he gave us this stunned look and wondered why need a screen.

It was so nice and cool last night, I gathered everyone up in their respective little pet carrier like I always do. usually I bring them in back door/screen and in the house, but instead of carrying them around the house to the front (which is a lot of work as all birds are in back) I left them on the back deck. I never do that if it is chilly but I have done it when it's 85 at night, but since the back door won't open I didn't pull them in before bed.
I guess it got too cool (60 Ish)and my tiny showgirl momma with the 7 couldn't cover them all.
I let them out this morn and only 6 instead of 7. Other one looked like she had just passed.

:hit

I still can't fix the screen door and I dont have anyone to help and I am just about to cry.
Thanks for listening.

I just can't believe it, I am usually so so careful with my babies! I haven't really been less careful this year that I know of, and I been watching everyone like a hawk since it seems to be my "off" summer, I have never in my life experienced such weird deaths.

Kskingbee, you are so sweet.
Thanks all. You all do make me feel better.

How odd that your expensive slider didn't come with an attached screen door. You should call the company you bought it from and ask about a proper screen door for it and ask why one didn't come with it,bc that sounds a bit odd to me.Ask if they have someone who can come to install it properly at no charge.I'm sorry about the baby:(

I just done the most stupid thing this year, a chick was hatching and he did 90% of the progress, he was going to get out of the shell in an hour or less, but my stupid brain told me to bring him out of the shell, and he start to bleed and most of the yolk came out of his body! I have no idea why i have done this, he is going to die for sure.
