Redinator's First Hatch-Along

[TwoCrows]

This totally sucks... torrential rain and the power went out

As @oldhenlikesdogs suggested, get a thick quilt or blanket and lay it over top. Don't cut off air vents but just covering the machine will help hold in the heat and humidity. Eggs have a lot of mass and don't cool down awful fast. It's common in the wild for a hen to leave the nest for up to an hour searching for food or water.

I remembered I have a power bank that accepts wall plugs.... now to find it in the dark, and praying it's charged.

Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed!

Found it, it's dead.... using a different powerbank to charge the on with the wall outlet... tell me this isn't insane

You're doing great! It's terrible timing and luck, but you're doing all you can!

Doing a series charge worked for the bit of time the power was out. Power is back on and there was very little down time when I was finding everything. Damn chicks are gonna make me go grey . . or maybe it's blue, lol

I would be stressed too.

I have an incubator that accepts an ATV battery, but I loaned it to a friend.

Is she using it? Get it back tonight! Right now! Emergency! Poor babies.
