Hi Blooie,
This year I tried your Mama Heat Pad method and I've loved it so far. No stinky chicks inside and best of all no dust! I do have a question though. Lately when I check on the chicks before bed, they've been huddled together on top of the their "cave". It still gets down towards...
My white leghorn just started laying, and two of the six eggs I've gotten were double yolks. I don't know about the other four as I haven't used them. Is this typical?
