Has anyone heard from Coral?(Poco)?

looks dreary out there, we didn't get hit hard here- was afraid we would-

on rats and mice, try some pepperment oil or camphor moth balls- supposed to help- they don't like strong smells- we have been battling them this year under the tubs

I think Coral is in Texas right now.

Wrap it in towels and say a prayer.

Rinda....how far along was you hatch in the bator?

The eggs were started Monday, so they were 5 days in. Power went out about 5:30 AM. I wrapped the incubator in every spare blanket I could find and the power was out for about 9-10 hours by my guess. When we left for my nephew's Bday, then Mazzios and a movie at 1 we saw a road crew and stopped to talk. He said they were nearly done clearing the lines of branches but that there was a broken pole leading to our neighborhood- we were the last 20 houses without power- and once it was replaced everything should "light up." (his words, not mine. We got home at 8 PM and everything was on. So I'm hoping most of them will make it. We will know when I candle at day 10 I suppose! 3 of the eggs were from the Shawnee show, we were admiring some beautiful Polish when the breeder came over to talk and she gave us 3 eggs that her hens laid during the show. Really hoping those ones make it...

Haven't heard from her but I heard that some parts of Muskogee/Haskell were out of power for a long time after the last storm, not sure how they fared after this one.

So cute! Is that one of the things?
Jackie O looks so dashing in dark fur hat - reminds me of a Russain in the snow!

I didn't notice until you said, but your so right she does look like a Russain lady.

No, one or both of the Things are in the group shots, but not so you could pick them out.

Have a facebook friend whose broody left the nest at 40 degrees for a day, towards mid hatch, ice cold, so they put them in the bator just in case, they all hatched last week- so they may be ok
