EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Pensmaster]

Putting the rope light on the roost and covering it with carpet?

For the chicks I cover the rope with some dirt in a box. I'm thinking of putting some on the roost just under or on the edge. Was thinking for heat but it looks as if it will work for lighting for eggs in the winter as well. Experiment mostly on the roost. Last night when I checked on them they weren't on the roost. Most were on the large granite rock. I guess staying warm.

I'll try and get the light on the roost this weekend. The power is already there. They may not like it.

awesome MEL!!! what you didnt take pics for us??? I need to drool a bit you know that!!

Quote: yes, but somewhat like I showed you guys in those seedling starter table not just wrapping and covering no, Im wondering if I cant use dryer flat venting and put them inside of it with two pv through for extra support and then cover the flat dryer pipe with indoor outdoor carpet??? suggestions would be great, I am thinking 6 to ten inches wide would be cool

you need to be a young woman hunting "in heat"     it works like a charm trust me, In squirrel season I was really close to getting attacked by a buck and standing up telling him to get lost and flagging arms didnt help him from coming straight to me  ughhhh

Good morning everyone!
Well, I threatened my birds on the roost Friday night. I said, "Whoever us eating MY eggs better stop or when I figure out who it is I am going to have chicken soup!" Did you know I have not had a single egg eaten since?
