I have a heat lamp. The eggs stayed under it while mom wouldn’t sit. Does the box need to be wood? I turned the lamp off at 7 when it was getting dark. Momma quickly went back to eggs and babies are under her with eggs. Hoping the fact the babies need warmth will keep her sitting.@RobinS1217 Do you have a heat lamp that you can set up a diy incubator? The pipped egg needs warmth. My gut instinct says to put the remaining eggs in a box with high sides, put a heat lamp above it and then close off the top as much as you can and try to get temp to 99.5. put all the remaining eggs in there to give them a chance. If you don't have a heat lamp maybe your friends do?
@Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @azygous can you help with diy set up for eggs abandoned by broody? It's a staggered hatch.
