If the electricity goes out, depending on the type of bator you have, you are better off not opening it. Adding hot water bottles after the fact will be difficult to control the temp.
Is Aimee your daughter?If I could have read this yesterday I might have had some answers. Last night lightening struck an electric pole across and down the street about 100 yds. Sixty thousand homes without power. Bad for me because we are fully electric. No water, no toilet, no A/C, no lights, TV or internet, no stove. AND my 'bator was off for 14 hrs. Sitting at 75 degrees. My 15 White Plymouth Rocks were on day 19. Sick about it but I left it running until I hear feedback. This is what I worry about. I live with DD and family and they have no comprehension of what to do other than go to a motel. Clint ran out and bought a generator for the dog boarding shop. He was afraid that someone would come by and steal it so he slept in his truck. Aimee put a pic on FB about the lengths he goes through for the puppies. So I spent the rest of the night before bed sitting in my chair with my headband light on and read my nook. Aimee walked by and said that was about the most ignorant thing she ever saw.What can I say, I love to read.
I have had power outages that long and had some eggs survive prior to my back up system.If I could have read this yesterday I might have had some answers.
