OK, I am trying to plan ahead. I have two incubators going with two different batches of eggs. I'm worrying we may lose power tomorrow if we get as much snow as they are saying with high winds as well. Any ideas to keep the eggs warm besides shoving them in my bra? There's way too many. 21 Serama eggs (which we totally forgot to candle on Sunday/Day 10!!! Will have to do that tonight) and at least 2 dozen BLRW & Marans eggs........Don't want to lose them!!! Our power has already been flickering on and off today.

Yikes! If you have or can get ahold of a generator, there's a way to hook it up to the house. I've never done it but my neighbors tell me it's pretty easy.
As a last resort, maybe you could curl up with them all under a comforter. I'm just going to hope your electricity doesn't go out...

I think though I really like these as much, if not more than the blacks. I've always loved crested/tufted birds!

Did they give any particular reason? (Maybe Greenfire did something to tick them off!)
