Because I don't hatch in my incubator, it stays dander free and clean.

I could never brood any inside. The dander is disgusting. I use wheat straw as opposed to shavings for the same reason. Too dusty. It also seems like when I did the chicks sometimes got nasally

best move i ever made was chunking the incubators and only using hens. Especially with the ambient humidity here using Styrofoam incubators. I couldn't even dry incubate they would still grow too big to zip from pip. And the ones that did manage to hatch or the many that I assisted were too large and mushy. All around bad
Hens no problem and 100% hatch routinely

Too bad that doesn't work for coturnix quail. If you get a broody hen, you're very lucky, and if she stays broody long enough to hatch them, luckier still. Then you hope that she'll take care of them.

Morning

Is your homework done?

The "heat" is supplied by a pellet stove that I can connect to the generator. If that fails, I have a sleeping bag rated to -20°F and a down parka. Inside the house, it has never gotten to sub zero temps.

This makes zero sense to me.
How does a stove connect to a generator?
