Final count of survivors

[WriterofWords]

Out of the three incubators that were fully loaded when we lost power I have these survivors:

5 Giant Coturnix
4 of Charlotte's
3 of Reds
2 of Whitey's last eggs did hatch and so far are fine, they hatched yesterday about 3 days late and I'm giving the other 2 eggs a couple more days.

Lost:
All Buttons (again, I give up)
All of my own quails eggs, the ones that were killed.
The rest of Charlotte's, Whitey's, Hershey's, the Sister's, the Silkie's, and the Polish.

I guess 14 was better than nothing all things considered, but it sure puts a damper on my enthusiasm right now. I wanted to try and do Buttons in the class but I'm not going to do anything until after Christmas now.

Thanks, I'm happy to have some survivors, it was just such a let down to have that happen right after I candled and had so much life in there!

This may intrest you, I am going to make a few of these, since we have had more hurricanes in our area lately, here is the link http://www.rain.org/~philfear/how2solar.html
it is fairly inexpensive, and considering how bad you feel over your loss, it will be worth it to hopefully never have to feel that way again!!! I am going to make the SUPER one to run my whole water pump shed!!!

I am so sorry you lost your fluffies :aww

That is really interesting thank you! We are making solar cookers and other items in class this coming week, we may just try and make that too!
