Okies in the BYC The Original

I bumped the heat again in the mudroom... another chick got chilled. Trying to warm it up in the bathroom with the heater on... don't know if it'll work.

I also forcefed a couple CCs of water mixed with electrolytes.

The blowdryer is on the chick. I have a dryer stand, which is currently positioned over the chick, along with the ceiling heat vent open wide and the heat dialed up.

The mudroom temp dropped a couple hours ago... plummeted. Not sure why. That's why I asked my Dad to bring back over one of my electric room heaters (the one that goes off if tipped over). I also started a load of clothes in the dryer to help bring the temp back up quicker. I already lost one chick to this drop (literally, in an hour it went from 70 room temp/75 under the light which they seemed to do wonderful with... down to 50.) and I'm hoping not to lose this one.

Did the cold weather hit the city??? The weatherman said it was going to be cold tonight.....I hope you don't loose another one.

What do you have them in??? Maybe if they were in something with walls to keep the heat from the light contained.

If I can't get the temp back up within the next half hour, the whole lot of them are coming back into the living room. Can't take the thought of losing another one to the chill. The chilled one just made noise at me when I moved her towel, and some response is better than none. At least if she doesn't recover, I know that I've done the best I can and at least she was warm before she passed.

Shoot fire and save matches. Forgot about the fact it'll be colder tomorrow. Gonna go ahead and bring them back into the living room... I have to work tomorrow so can't watch the temperature in there close enough.

Hey Monty...when is the precip supposed to come? Do they think it will get bad? We didn't get to watch the weather and I sure would love to have a snow day so I can get some gifts done for Christmas. LOL

They're all back in the living room. I went ahead and brought in the space heater too, and plugged it in. It's got a temp pre-set, so if the temp should drop in here below 70, it'll kick on.

Busted the dang bulb moving the lamp back inside... was my last one. The rest of the bulbs I have are all the energy saver bulbs, which don't generate squat for heat. Was the other reason I moved the heater in here too... gonna have to get more bulbs tomorrow after the second job.
