broody hens don't run on electricity!

I set 25 eggs yesterday, splitting them between a bator and a broody. Last night a storm rolls in and the power goes out. After a while i call the power company and find out that the power may not come back until early morning! So i moved all the eggs to the broody for the time being. She is sitting on a literal mountain of eggs! I am going to move them back to the bator later when I get the temp stabilized. After debating broody vs incubator with my husband yesterday I realized the #1 advantage. When the power goes out the broody still works!

Haha nice! Always handy to have a broody hen on hand for emergencies!

Good luck!
