My Roo Found his place
The Tulips are loving the rain
Does any one else see a Duck ?

So sorry - it's always hard especially if they have been part of your life for several years.

Yes, I see both too! Like the rooster by mailbox idea!

Sorry to hear that! You have chicks under lights? We had quite the storm & other places had trees down, but our road / electric was uneffected.

luckily all chicks are off lights but i am out 30 eggs in the incubator. Guess i didnt need chicks right now any how.

That's good at least you didn't loose chicks already hatched.

I was so careful with my incubator at home. I called the neighbors with a generator and asked if I could plug in the incubator if the power went out, we put hot water bottles in a cooler with some egg cartons if we had to transport the eggs. The power flickered, but t stayed on.
But at the school....I don't know what happened, but this morning the temp was 120 in one incubator and 106 in another. One teacher cried. It was day 6, so we will check tomorrow - but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'll have lost silkies, Marans and blue laced red Wyandottes. I'm bummed, I'm also really glad I kept a few of each type of egg at home - I spent way too much on the eggs, so I'm not sure what I'll be replacing them with.

I will bet some one touched it ..they probably wont make it ..but they may ...it depends on how long it was up that high ..
Might as well let it go the 21 days
