I have one, but it's useless if the powers out....

Oh, yeah
Propane torch?

Got one of those too... But Im afraid that would cause a failure to hatch due to the flaming bators...
Unless you were headed in a different direction with that suggestion??

No, I wasn't, but it sounds interesting

Why does that not surprise me?

Wind is blowing something awful... The power flickered, man I hope it doesn't go out..I have eggs in the bator..
It's not very cold and can wrap them in a blanket. But that's my options..

Blowing up a storm here too!
I moved my silkied serama broody to my brooder on the back porch. Luckily she was in a moveable nest box. I covered it with a denim shirt and ran for the house. She didn't seem phased at all. At least I can stop digging under her to get newly laid eggs.

And I have 2 pips in the bator, both are OEGB eggs.

I think I made a big mistake removing those eggs
She wasn't on them when I came by here at break today. . and hasn't been on them since I've been home from work. I went in and felt them and they feel cold

Did she ever get back on them? I bet she is recruiting the others to add more eggs. Maybe just take them and let her start over? Stick those in your incubator

Ewww...not fun!
Glad she doesn't fuss about being moved. So far none of my broodys have had a problem with being moved. The one that is a first time broody just kept getting in the wrong nest every time she got out.

pips!

She never went inside until I put them up for the night. Guess will see tomorrow. How long can they survive without being sat on?
My mother in law has an incubator I could borrow I suppose. I don't know what I'm doing though. Are you sure you are up for that?
