    I feel so horrible....(aka Why Everyone Needs an Incubator Just In Case)

    That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. We raised our chicks in our basement. They were in a box with a lamp above. I never worried about the lamp falling. In a few weeks I will be playing chicken mama again, i will be extra careful now. :(

    Phew about the humidity. Maybe my birds have a shot. And I hope you're right about them maybe being Ameruacana. That's actually what I thought the auctioneer yelled out when I bid on them. My current flock is ISA Brown. I just want to introduce some new breeds.

    Great advice; thank you all. My eggs are light green so I am hopeful that I will be able to candle them in a couple days. I do have them at the appropriate temperature, however the humidity is a concern for me. As soon as I can get my hands on an incubator I will transfer them.
