I don’t think this is generally true? just like with generators you can do whole-house or just specific circuits. maybe this is some kind of california weirdness?

I’m still pissed off about this!! our six week old chicks were “swarming” her so apparently she got freaked out and tried to feed them “as fast as possible” which meant underfeeding them so badly that four of them DIED!! and she didn’t even NOTICE!! the ones who survived are still super skinny!!
