My hatching eggs still haven't shipped. But I finally got my first eggs. My two Australorps that I got as chicks in May have finally started laying. I know they are not fertile because none of my Roos are old enough.

The storm is hitting us in Eastern Tennessee now, lots of rain and super high winds. Praying everyone out there with out power is Ok. This weather is so strange for november. Stay safe everyone!

Hope it rained out some more before it got to you .We're on the back side now still some rain and very cloudy also colder . not that strange for Tn. I've seen it a lot stranger . this one sat just west of the big river longer than I wanted it to . not that bad lot of wind and rain wind being the worst 40 mile an hour gusts.
 
Don't know whether this would work or not, but perhaps it will get someone's creative juices going:

As I mentioned to Sally a couple days ago, when I was breeding bird dogs we always tried for winter litters. One of the dog supply houses started marketing eletric "nest warmers" (for lack of the proper name...been a lot of years since those days). Anyhow, it was a shallow pan, similar to a wok, that was set into a hole in the floor of the dog box. The idea, obviously, was for the dog to whelp her pups in the heated pan. The power cord was routed outside the box and (in my case, anyway) plugged into a heavy duty exterior extension cord.

I don't know if these, or something similar, are still made, or if they are/were available in smaller sizes, but they may be worth checking out for those in colder climates.
If not that, what about water pan waterers? Would that work in the same way?
