Winter Storm Olive nailed us last weekend and left us at a little over 24 hours without power. While I kept my two week old chicks and ducklings in my hoodie all night and day until power came back, I couldn't do anything about my two incubators. Temps dropped to 48 in the house, but I never touched the incubators and I keep a heavy blanket over them at all times anyway to deter cats and kids from messing with things.

Incubator 1 is due tomorrow. We went from 12 total eggs down to 8 between 3 that were unfertilized and then 1 that quit so far. There is one questionable egg in there that I left just because you never know. Everyone else seems right on the money and ready to go. A couple eggs were wiggling yesterday when I took out the egg turner and set everything for lock down.

Incubator 2 is due next Saturday. This one I have a little less confidence in because it's a new incubator and they were painfully early in development when things went awry.

If you have a broody hen you can try putting eggs under her
