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?

They are on day 4.

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.

Thank you!

That's a good thing.
On day 4 it is possible to let them cool completely and save most.
If you lose power, just let them cool completely and quickly. Perhaps even in a refrigerator. Leave them in that state till power is restored.

Another option is if you are in a hot climate, just put the eggs out in an ambient temperature over 90F.

No but I'm going to get my butt in gear tomorrow cause hubs said he wasn't going to help me. So I'm getting my dads truck and get it done tomorrow! Who needs men. Not me

@BantyChooks
What materials would I need?
I found a thermometer/hygrometer on Amazon...what was your base made of? Fan?
Pm me if you want....I'd live to get details, I think I would like to build my own with tips from people here.
