One of my BA hens is probably broody. She's got all the signs as my hand will attest. If so, hatching will be in the beginning of December.
I live in SW Missouri where the weather can be quite variable from one hour to the next. I don't have a heated building to put her and eggs in. I do have electricity going to the garage so I was thinking of using a light bulb for some radiant warmth. My husband is going to love this idea...
Especially that the chicks may have to stay in the garage for awhile...
I am equally concerned about chick survival in the cold.
Anyway, I'd love to hear and learn about experiences and please, be generous with your tips. I don't have an incubator other than my hens.
Thanks,
Dale-Ann
