The Hard Freeze was too much for some 1 week old baby chicks this morning. #1 house with 22 thousand birds, had some bad air leaks from the roof around access doors in the top. it caused a fog of cold wet air in a small area at the far end of the house. the baby chicks, cold and wet, Crouded into small thick packed groups. in an area 40' x 50 foot . 138 birds soffucated because they were so thickly packed on top of each other... it could have been worse.... Take care of any pets that live outside in this cold weather.. a flood light even will provide a lot of comfort to Hunting dogs, Ect. that stay in the pens. Wind Blocks on the fence do help
