Happy day chaos.

Im curious: has anyone hatched eggs after day18 with a heat lamp?? Since they need to be still I thought it might be possible to put them in a rubber mate with a heat lamp over it at the right temperature and to keep the humidity up with a wet rag and try hatching that way??

fire in the stove, coffee in the cup, computer on BYC, good morning everyone, now to see when/if the temperature will exceed 32 today.

I fully understand.
I guess the below freezing part is because of providing water?
Pool night tomorrow night. I'm off to practice for about an hour.

Well, there are several things I would worry about. Yes, one is the water, but I have a thing that you microwave that was in a cat bed, that will keep a small waterer thawed all day, He would also be by himself trying to stay warm in either my small broody/jr coop which would be small, or my big green coop that has a couple of spots in the top of the runs hardware cloth due to a couple of goats thinking they should jump up and lay on hardware cloth four feet in the air :/ Lastly, I am not sure about keeping me separate enough while dealing with the dark, the cold, and separate clothes.

Despite all that, I am really tempted.
