We're good! All alive and well. Cruise pics on my profile if you ever get a chance. Only about half, though, so you can wait.

Drop everything you're doing, dry out your bators, and go on a cruise post haste.

What a pretty mama! Sounds like she is going to have a lot of babies, I hope they all fit! I have heard of putting a lamp in near mama so she doesn't have to keep them all under her.

well once she finishes hatching as she did it in the coop we are moving her to the insulated coop then we could add a heat lamp if needed. The day olds are out exploring already. then snuggling up next to here only time they are getting under is to sleep,  but the nest box is also buried in between hay bales. Funny thing is all the hens contributed to the number of eggs she is hatching and she kinda looks funny at the leghorns chicks, so we are keeping an eye on that.

Should not type before coffee lol

You could always add an MHP. (mama heating pad) or homemade pad heat plate instead of a lamp so it's still as natural as mama

Banti not sure why quotes are not working, but remember to install it just a tad below the light bulbs so you dont get hot spots under them.
