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

Thanks for those root cellar ideas Sally!
We have a cellar, but a furnace in it that blows the heat from our outside wood boiler, so not cool enough with the duct work I don't think. Thought about insulating a small room in the corner but building materials aren't cheap. We get mice sometimes rats in the cellar so it'd have to be sealed. Thought about 55gal plastic barrels on their sides in framework with hinged openings. Right now we keep everything in a spare unheated room that used to be a attached garage but sometimes when it's super cold stuff freezes, not good. Lost two five gallon crocks of pickles last yr INSIDE a refrigerator, didn't think they'd freeze in it, didn't look very appetizing after they thawed.
Love that freezer root cellar idea. People throw away big old freezers, going to have to keep a look out. Put a couple big one's down in our cellar for root vegis and such might be perfect, no building, no $, and easy!

If you were coming through, you could take my deep freezer.

He would be the first on that front.
My son does that... spell the same word, wrong, twice, in the same paragraph, and then the third time, spell it right.
