INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Well I have no coop yet.. They are staying in one of those huge totes( that fit Christmas trees) so I had to get them back in. Any suggestions on how to make that easier?

Need to get the coop done lol
Good luck

They need permanent housing that they can imprint on so they know where to sleep at night.

Barring that, they'll just find a place to hunker down in the woods at dusk or if older, they'll sleep in a tree.

Hopefully get some supplies tomorrow and see if I can get something figured in on them... I'm on my own with this one

URGENT!!!


My house is getting hit by a HUGE lightning storm, and I have an incubator with 26 Eggs in it. the power has already gone out twice, but came back right away. should I wrap the incubator with towels so that if the power goes out for a while, they won't die? Thanks!

HAVE A PLAN IN CASE YOU LOOSE ELECTRIC ITS THE SEASON! see post #522

This is what to look for in the front of the forum. For some reason it didn't come through as a link but you'll see it on page one or so.

Get-r-done. Good luck. I know what it is like being on your own.
Do you have a cellar, garage or other larger place (besides the tote) where you can keep them till the coop is finished?

Somewhat depends on what day the eggs are on. How far along are they?
Do you have a means of boiling water or baking bricks if the power goes out?
