I took 4 hours of leave today for mental health reasons. Figured I'd get the laundry and vacuuming done, do some chicken chores, etc... but here I am on BYC.

We had a bad storm last night. Straight line winds, talk of tornadoes. I have chicken pens torn up everywhere. One is in the back of my house. But we have had no power for almost 12 hours so I am worried about my little eggs.

Do you have any neighbors that have generators? If not you might want to put a blanket around your bator to try to keep heat in. Try not to block vent holes if possible. I know people have lost power during a hatch before and the eggs have still hatched, I just don't know what the longest period was. Keeping

for you and sorry you have to deal with this!

Agree they'll probably be ok. Don't lift the lid on the incubator unless you have to. Cover if possible and/or move it to a room thats warmer (do you have a fireplace?)

Sounds like BYC is what your mental health needed.

Thanks guys....a generator is something we keep talking about.
I have three bators and one is a cabinet. I keep them in their own room. I only opened the door to the room last night to make sure I still had a roof.
I bet I don't win earliest chick hatched.

I hate spring in Texas.
