Mary, little chick is lonely. Please give him one of Tuckers stuffed toys to cuddle with. Who am I kidding Tucker's toys seem to explode spontaneously.

Just a thought, maybe you could train Tucker with stuffed gophers so he will be eager to diminish their population.

Too dangerous!

I think the "real" reason for the wall paneling is that Michael didn't like my sexy comment about the divider being cardboard taped to the wall.

It's very woodsy looking. I hope you can just get a new power cord for your Brinsea's like Ron mentioned.

Did they ever come take them out for you? Are you settling for the ones they gave you?


Also whatever happened to the shower installation - the new tiles- oh I forgot who was renovating. Anyone remember- did I miss the post where the new tiles were shown? Oh this is so much better than TV!

You all have such interesting lives, thanks for sharing with us!

So............I finished the remodel of the brooder house. Michael framed out one 6 foot long brooder across the back of the house. Before he put the sides and front on, he wanted to prove to me that it would hold my baby chicks. OK, I'm a believer.






With much excitement, I put my lone chick in!



An hour later, frantic chirping could be heard from inside the house. I went out to find the chick ice cold! The EcoGlow wasn't working. One of the two cords had come apart at the transformer so that one didn't work. I ordered a replacement cord on Friday. So I plugged the other EcoGlow into the good cord, and it still doesn't heat up! I moved the chick back down to the little brooder in the basement. Over the next six hours I plugged both Ecoglows into the good cord. The little indicator light comes on for both of them but there is no heat whatsoever! Makes me wonder how long they have been like this and if our chick losses are because they didn't have heat! I should have been checking it, especially given my history with Brinsea products.

So, I now have to cancel the replacement cord and get new brooder heaters. They will not be ECOGLOWS! I will be ordering the clones sold by Premier1 products! Chalk up another $300.00 loss to Brinsea.

But, I am thrill with the new brooders. I think it will work well for me, especially since it is finally level! I am going to try the nipple waterers but still provide a standard chick waterer until the get the hang of it. I am so sick of nasty shavings and poop in the water.

Very nice paneling and brooder! Your babies will love the insulation!

Oh I am so glad you were able to save the chick from being cold and how awful that happened. Could it have shorted out the EcoGlows I wonder? How expensive to replace them. Ugh...so sorry this happened to you.

This made me giggle.

Nope the paneling went in weeks ago! I'll see what happens when the new power cord arrives. I'll call Brinsea tomorrow for an approximate delivery dat. probably next month. They are slow on replacement parts!

Kelly's Lemon Poundcake. I had to bake another one today because someone cut into the other one with a steak knife last night rendering it useless for photos. I made a half batch and used two mini pans. BTW Kelly Michael loves this.
