YES!!!!
Brinsea makes a wonderful item called an EcoGlow brooder, a 20 and a 50 model. I will NEVER go back to using heat lamps again! The EcoGlow units provide gentle heat from the underside of an adjustable panel; chicks huddle under it to warm up, just like they do with Mama Hen...

Don't you hate those kind of "accidents"!
You should see my stealth DH avoidance moves getting them from the car to the bator! I can set eggs in the bator faster than most, then act like, "oh, those have been in there!"

Well yes, I suppose it is. But what were you supposed to do...let potential silkie chicks just DIE??? I think that it was very humane of you to help give those chicks the opportunity for life
Don't you just love to see them push those eggs under themselves? I think its the cutest thing!
Impress, did your cochin call my silkie? I put 5 under my silkie, not sure how many she has under her. I will check in a few days. I have 7 in the bator, 24 shipping in a week, and 4 in the brooder!
You are a very lucky women! If only I could convice mine that it brings me such JOY to see babies, and cuddle chickens. My children are now teenagers and I have to have something to mother! They wont let me anymore! I will keep dreaming that my DH will catch the chickenbug!
