Surviving without Electricity

Yesterday we had a power outage. A strong storm had already passed by but the electric company said a substation lost power. They estimated that we would have power in about 2 hours. The chicks acted a little frantic because they had never been in total darkness. We have a generator and we got it hooked up to run the light for the chicks. As soon as we had hooked it up, they all settled down. Of course since we already had the generator running we also hooked up the TV. That was for us, not the chicks. Sure enough, about 2 hours later our power was back on.

In the photo you can see the blue feet on the Americauna chick. Notice in the background a Rhode Island Red's feet that are the usual orange-yellow color. You learn something new everyday! We think the coloring of the Americaunas is similar to quail.
