I'm not worried about anything freezing. I'm more worried about keeping it cool in the summer. I'm thinking something like an orange Igloo ice chest thing (with a frozen gallon water jug inside) to feed some type of cups or something.

I do need it to work with a heat lamp. The birds are put out in the winter when still young. I clean a brooder once. After that, they are out.Home Depot. Clippy lamp and a regular light bulb. B
I'm at -17F with wind chill to -50s...
60 eggs... yes!
I knew my Texas boy loved his brown girl.. but I didnt realise the brown girl was his only girl. None of my Texas girls eggs are fertile.
My bought eggs have a very high fertility rate, approx 6-8 clears from 60 eggs!
I'm not going to touch them again, will just let them do their thing.
How do you live in that crap?
My 47 are easy to maintain. I have a 3 lb feeder we just top off in the morning and at night. I do need a larger waterer - the quart sized waterer is not enough - it needs to get filled 2-4 times a day. As for cleaning, I switched to pine shavings after just over a week. I just add a little more once a day or now and clean after a few days.I figured since they are shipped eggs I might get 10 to hatch (seems about right based on all other shipped eggs)..
Now I'm pooping my pants I might end up with 30-odd babies
I won't have time to do anything other than feed them & clean up!!!
