I think the purpose of the fan IS to keep the temp stable and equal throughout the bator. Otherwise you get cold spots, without it.

I nearly forgot! I go into lockdown/IBW today ... for part one of my three part staggered hatch! The BCMarans on lockdown, due Dec 20! YAY! ! !

Good luck, I hope they hatch all healthy and strong.
I have the worst staggered hatch, my sussex and 4 guineas go into lockdown today and then on the 20th I have my store bought eggs, on the 23rd more guineas, 24th more guineas and on the 25th more guineas, thats all I have worked out so far ( it goes untill the 29th then I have a break and then again from the 9th )

I have finished painting one side of the brooder ( the littlies are doing the others ) it looks completely wrong but I can't change it now, oh well.
heres a picture of it ( not assembled ) I know the sussex legs are WAY to small but I didn't realise untill after I had finished.

The sussex with short legs.

The half silkie silkie ( we acually have one like this ) and her scary chick. oh yeah and the guinea fowl.

sorry these are such bad photos but again I took them with the webcam thing on the laptop.

Wonderful painting! Wish I had time to paint my brooder.

Thank-you

I dont really like it though, I was so rushed I didn't do it right.

I love your painting. I am not creative at all. Right now my brooder is a sterelite tote. I am trying to make a brooder this weekend because I am going to run out of room quickly with the tote.

After looking at the calendar I realized my chicks are actually due on the 24th. So I go into lockdown on Monday!!! I can't wait, I candled today and saw lots of movement. Yipeeee
