We had a winter storm last night and being Saturday I really did not want to get out of bed,
So at 9:00 I finally got up and went into the bath room and looked out the back window only to see my big double doors to the chicken coop wide open, They had been left open all night in this storm the temp was 21 and windy at 9 am.
I freaked running from the bath room in my night gown and only socks on running from the house, I reached the coop and looked in to find my treasured flock of Silkies were alive but very cold babies, I started turning on heat lamps and geting them fresh warm sugar water with V&E, I filled the dishes with food. and came back inside.
I upset my poor hubby of 28 years, Guess he did not like me screeming from the house in a flimsy night gown
and no shoes.
I will have to watch them carefully for the next few days for any side effects of this mistake. We have many Coons and Fox I am so lucky! :-(
