My electricity just went out. We are having 35mph winds. The electric company says they will have the lights on by 10:30 pm

We can't believe ours hasn't gone out yet....now the wind has died down so we may be good. Sometime in the night a wind ripped off some roofing on our wood shed...just peeled it right back.

Nothin Much Here! What Is Shakin there.

Everything!!!

My chicks are a hatchin' and right now eating their ff. Only have 8 eggs left to hatch and none is pipped. Sure hope at least some of those hatch out if not all of them. Some was put in the next night from the others so I'm still holding out hope. The brooder box is full of chicks. lol

Yep wind is horrible here to but not bad on the cold side IF the wind would lay. Sure hope you guys get your power back fast! Hang in there.

Congrats, Rosemarie!!!!!

Yer a mama! Of course, pics are necessary.....

Okay, okay. Here's the thing. Went to town to pick up a bag of pine shavings. My little ladies are 2 1/2 weeks old and thriving! So cute! I have Easter Eggers, Golden Laced Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons and Red Stars. Ken parked the van and told me to run on ahead in and get what I needed. Um, they had chicks. Yup, two brooders full of adorable, sweet, 1 week old chicks. I'm telling you, they were so fluffy and just - just - new looking! Well, I went straight up to that counter and said, "I need big bag of pine shavings, please." He rang it up, told me to pull around back to get it loaded, and believe it or not I left!!! Yes, I did! Oh, I was so proud of me! I resisted, and I did it with class and dignity!

I went out to the car and told Ken we needed to pull around for pick up. And then I said, "Oh, honey, they had two brooders full of new chicks!"

"What kind were they?" Uh oh.

"Well, he had Speckeled Sussex, Cuckoo Marans, Black Copper Marans, and Welsummers." I sat silent as he digested this bit of information. Have I ever mentioned that Ken has a very fast digestive system? "Huh," he said. "I've never seen any of those." Next thing I knew he was unbuckling his seat belt. <gulp>

I was panic stricken! No, NO!! It couldn't be!! Ken wanted to look at more chickens! You'd better believe I hit that door before he did! By the time he reached the feed store door I had 2 Black Copper Marans and 2 Speckeled Sussex in a box. And when he actually came into the store I gave him my best, "Honey, you always have such goooood ideas!" smile and pulled out my credit card.

Somebody help me...................
