Murphy has struck.
My chicks are hatching and when I went to plug in the brooder lamp, it was dead. I found one new bulb left and when I plugged it in, nothing.
I tried that bulb in a second brooder lamp, and nothing. I switched outlets. Nope.
So, I have no brooder. It is snowing tonight. The road is an absolute nightmare and I must plow before going out plus chain up tomorrow. We're 25 miles from the nearest store to buy a new bulb. It's 11 pm.
I plugged in my old hovabator and I'm praying it works.
It's getting crowded in the brinsea mini. I guess the chicks are staying indoors for a bit.
