Very errily. When the lights came on this morning though, the chirps and cheeps came right back.
Btw, I get what you where saying about the Brinsea. The feet on that thing are getting modified. The idea of the design is okay, but holly failure on the execution of it. I thought I was going to break it just putting it together. (for those wondering why I'm modifying her equipment, she gifted this unit to me because of horrible foot design. Gotta be Heman to take it apart)
I feel like the plates are the closest thing I can get to simulating going under a broody hen. They seem the coziest, anyway. And yeah, I told you that you'd hate it, just as I have and probably the generations of non-HeMan types before me. The only use I've gotten out of that thing in the last year is just looking at it with distain whilst thinking about drop kicking it into a fire. But if you think you can modify it to make it better, I'm definitely interested to see what you come up with. But yeah, no one should actually pay money for one. You're better off putting your bare feet on hot coals and then holding your foot over the chicks for warmth.
