Oh, Wow, Sarabeth. That is terrible. I am so sorry. Besides your family,etc, do you have a way to get water to your chickens? Are you able to stay at your home--do you have wood heat, etc, or how are you getting along? Sure hope itdoesn't take as long to get back your electricity as they are thinking now. We were out 9 days 2 winters ago, and I was about batty by then. Good Luck.
