First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place. I just wasn't sure where to put it. Right now, I'm so frustrated..
Someone please tell me how we're supposed to build a chicken coop when all it's been doing is raining (over 3 in. just this morning). 10 in. snow last weekend. Rain the weekend before that. We're getting more rain this weekend with it turning to snow AGAIN. I've got rain running down the front of my fireplace and into the insert in the living room. It's storming like mad and we've got a strong possibility of hail, flooding and tornadoes tonight.
We lose electricity easily as we are the last house on the grid. If we lose power, I can't even use the fireplace for heat so what in the heck do I do to keep my 17 chicks warm? They are 4 weeks old today. Will they be in danger at this point? The brooder is between 75 and 80 now. Sorry for the rant but this weather is driving me NUTS!
