That made me cry. I hate people like that. they have got to be sick in the head to do things like that.
Well...the wind knocked the power out.
I put the chicks in a much smaller box with a big bottle of hot water. They are pretty freaked out and so am I! I hope they do ok and this doesn't last long.
I hope all went well with you chicks, M2H posted some good tips for dealing with a power outage. I personal favorite is hot water bottles, I use op bottles.
Snowing here. And they put a ban on semi-trailers from using the toll road due to predicted high winds.
The snow has been pretty, but with the wind, the chill is really cold!
SNOW!!!!! I hate that word. I hope it didn't get too bad.
Due to the high winds in Indy today our power went out and IPL says it won't be restored until tomorrow morning! Yikes! We have 4 1-2 week old chicks and I'm worried about them getting cold. Any ideas on how to keep them warm without electricity tonight?
Power has been going in and out here about midnight it came on and stayed on. It got pretty cold last night hope everyone came through it all ok.
We have some downed Limbs big enough to call small trees but nothing that big. Sorry you had to come home to that.
I'm a newbie to this site. I love in Madison. We have 3 adult India Blue pecocks an 1 India Blue leaven who has just laid six eggs. I have hatched them under a brooch hen before but only 2. So the husband went and bought me a still air incubator. I've done my research and I'm hoping to have 6 peachicks in about 27 days. I do intend on selling them. I'm looking for purple and green mating pair of peachicks, yearlings, or even adults. My peahen has been laying a clutch of at least 8 eggs. Any tips or info on incubating would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much!!
Welcome!! Glde your here sorry I cant help ya out any, I know nothing about Pea eggs, Good luck
I'm sure someone will help ya out here have some that are pro's here.
How did you do? Ours was out for a good while but not overnight. My chicks were 8 days yesterday and the hot water bottle worked nicely. Hope all is well.
Glad to hear ya made it through with no loses.
@Mother2Hens I miss her too, but I know she knew she was loved and that makes a big difference. DH fell in-love with Big Man and he had me trying to get more for 2 years after that. Now he has Sweet Pea... He was named that cause we thought he was a she at first... lol
Jolene ( Doling that was in the house when you were here ) has learned how to jump the 4' baby fence so we were all day yesterday fixing the problem, hated doing it cause we are just going to be taking it down in the next week or 2 for the move.
I have no ideal how we are going to get all the critters moved that far at once. I can see me staying in one house while DH is at the other so we dont have critters alone. I wont leave any of them that far away from where I can see them.
But we will figure something out I'm sure.
