So crazy weather yesterday power went out and it was move my 3 week silkies from the brooder room down into my pantry near the wood stove but of course my st bernard was very interested in them! thankfully we have one of those super duper baby gates to keep her out of there anyway so all she could do was stare through at the box! in the same room I had a diy incubator with 5 eggs due to hatch this week. So I brought it downstairs near the stove couldn't put jar of hot water in it my hubby gives me the eyeball if I save sauce jars. But the eggs started getting cooler so I stuck them all in the pocket of a sweat shirt hanging near the stove they warned back up good I can still see movement in 3 and still see blood vessels in all 5 so fingers crossed they make it! Tropical storm force winds are not good for brooding babies! My 5 weeks old babies in the barn did fine they have been out in the big brooder for almost 2 weeks now the wind did scare them though welcome to maine weather babies lol.
