URGENT - Emergency Hatching Station Needed!

[MROO]

Is there any neighbor that would let you use their electric oven?

Not likely!

Do you have a crock pot?

Not one that regulates that finely. I have the last eggs under a low brooder plate with a thermometer. BooBee is currently snug in his/her human hammock, peeping and wriggling occasionally. So far, so good. Mama One and Mama Two are sitting on the hatched babies (so far, I think they have three, but I was so caught up in this one that I didn't check too closely. I'll see what's out there when and if I can slip this one underneath them. If it makes it that far, I'm thinking of putting a dab of Blu-Kote on it so I can tell it apart for a few days.
So far, so good!

It might be better than nothing. Good luck!

QUESTION: Has anyone had luck using a brooder plate for an improvised hatching station?
Cleaning out the scatters of an abandoned broody nest, I found two dead pips.
Started to open one ... and it gasped, bled and peeped! My N360 'bator's power cord suddenly decided to fail, so I now have a partly zipped egg in my unmentionables. I planned to candle the other 14 eggs (there were four broodies on a communal nest,) but now I'm scrambling to find my little candling flashlight.

EDIT to Add: I can likely find my old brooder light, if I need it, but it's going to need a thorough cleaning, first - which is really difficult to do while your brassiere is peeping!

I almost shorted my water into my nose at that line! LOL

How goes the human-incubator?

BooBee managed to hatch the rest of the way, all tucked in, so to speak. While it worked, it's not something I plan to try again. I'm ordering a new 'bator cord TODAY!
