Has anyone ever used heat mats underneath nesting boxes in the winter to keep eggs from freezing?
My seedling mats are keeping the nests, and eggs, 19F degrees above ambient nest temperatures.
The mats are fairly inexpensive as compared to other heat sources.
This should (hoping) help keep eggs unfrozen to temps as low as 10F.
That is interesting. I never thought of doing that.
You know we had record breaking cold days in NJ last year.
Too many frozen cracked eggs.
This will help.
