Hope you stay safe as well!

I am glad you got the generator back up and that chick is okay. Hope it continues to get better in your area, sounds pretty beat up, good luck.

yeah we put one of the month olds with new baby. The month old ours letting him snuggle under a wing and occasionally sitting on him like an egg.

Not sure what you're calling a water pan waterer. If you're just talking about a regular pan that you can fill with feed or water, it wouldn't warm up any more than the air around it, except for the body heat the birds produce, UNLESS there was a heating pad underneath it.

I was thinking something like this. http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/Far...jtMOZseIkK_iKMZew5YZQTP3oLf76NhqggaAnGM8P8HAQ

That is good they are being nice to the little one.

Now this is a pretty egg basket! I need some color in my basket! I know that my OE's and EE's that hatched will give me some pretty eggs come spring.

No, not exactly. Mine was circular, & made of metal (maybe plastic), but same general concept. My only concern would be the chance of a chick getting under the edge of a mat laying on the surface, and any bedding getting stuck on the fabric covering, making it a PITA to clean.

It's not like what you described earlier, but if you're looking for something that'll keep chicks warm, this will work:

I'm in lock down. Not sure these eggs will start early like the last ones. Had them in a different bator, a bit lower heat, in a turner. I could get a pip tonight, but not expecting any until tomorrow. Can't wait to hear that little chirping inside the egg. Always fun when things start.


chicken hawk, we hope you get all 21 into lock down too. Let us know.
