That is an odd phenomonenon I am not aware of. If one has a bator, one uses a bator. Right?

Exactly! It's not a seasonal thing. It will get lonely and think you don't love it anymore if you don't use it!

Neither do I but that didn't stop me. I've got 29 eggs in my incubator right now (and Mahonri was the enabler there) PLUS 4 eggs under a broody outside now.

Sanity? You can have mine, I'm sure not using it!

I'll wait for my broody Orp bantam hen to do it for me, sometime in June and July, perfect timing for chicks!

A plastic tote, expandable screen and a heat lamp is what a brooder makes. It's what I use. I also use 2 20 gallon aquariums with the expandable screens and heat lamps. It's worked for me for 2 years now. I bought 1 tote and the other I found on the side of the highway and the aquariums where given to me.

Where there's a will there's a way.
