The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

What a day my butt is killing me.About 15 minutes after I woke up this morning power went out.I called Electric co. They said power would be down about 4 hours.After about 45 minutes incubator temp was down to 80° .I tried putting blankets over incubator to hold in heat but it was useless.Finally after about hour and 15 minutes I decided it was going to take drastic measures to save my little chicks.The only thing i could think of was I needed to sit on those eggs.So I placed all 18 eggs on a piece of that foam egg shell material that is used on matresses then took another piece of same egg shell foam and put it on top of eggs.Now that i had eggs sandwiched between foam it was time for me to start brooding.I spent next 2 1/2 hours sitting on chicken eggs reading Urban Chicken magazine.I must say, I have gained a lot of respect for brooding hens.The power is back on and i candled a few of eggs they are doing just fine.I wish i could say the same for my hemorrhoids.

:yuckyuck This has given me a real giggle! :lol:
