Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

Argh! Power went out this morning at 330am came back on just 20 minutes ago.
'Bator only dropped to 77 deg. and is now back up to 90 deg. Eggs were still nice and warm.

DH woke up to me swearing at his closet door that he had left open because you all know that my foot found it. He then asks me what I'm fumbling around for while the power is out......I explain that I am trying to make my way in the pitch black to the flashlight so that I can go wrap my 'bator in towels.

To which he reponds............"Can't this wait until the power comes back on?"

I hate that she is alone. I have a stuffed animal in with her, but she just runs to your hand when you put it in the brooder.

Power was out multiple times yesterday...basically out all day. I did the math and the eggs only had heat for maybe 5 hours on and off.
