Can I Catch A Break?

Day 4 of Ronnie being gone. It got cold. I mean, way colder than I thought it would. I was not prepared for that. I did not prepare for winter in October. So, this morning, I was late for work because I was checking on everyone with the cold. All was well. I had to go to the store, so I was late coming home, which is pretty normal these days. It was getting dark when I got to get home to feed. Another chick hatched and died because of the cold. That is so devastating. I took all the eggs out of there. I cannot do that anymore. The other remaining chicks are all doing fine. As I was feeding, Louie and Bill decided to sandwich me in trying to get out of the gate. I am not sure how I stayed on my feet, but I know it hurt pretty badly, that will be causing some bruising for sure. I added some warmth to some areas for the chickens and the cats. I also remembered to turn the fans off. It is going to be colder tonight. I am going to have a hard time sleeping being worried about those baby chicks.
