Store it? Mine ran all winter last year!!

Idk what I'm going to do this year, I'll probably turn it off eventually, but I have no idea where I'll put it!

LOL, that's what I'm afraid of here too! I still have call ducks laying! And well as my husband said... "who wouldn't want a duck?!" LOL He loves ducks, and the chickens as well.

Since I've been hatching on the top rack I've been having good success, I had two die in shell, they were tiny OE eggs two others hatched fine of them, then three out of 4 EE eggs, and two of out three large duck eggs, with the third one just pipped this morning. So everything is fine up there! Just need to figure out how to get a more constant temp on the bottom and we'll be all set!

Riven...I am dealing with the same thing as well. The top is doing great...the middle isn't.

What is your set up chicken little?

I've been thinking about the air flow situation, the design allows the air to go down the front, hit the bottom, then go back up the back side of mine. I'm wondering if it would help to put small fans in the middle and bottom sections...

I think I might ask my real dad, rarely talk to him, but his mind is great for engineering things, my grandpa was an engineer, wish I would've gotten a little more of that brain, lol.
