Because I'm not there to check for eggs at noon. I'd rig up a heat lamp but given my mechanical ineptitude, I'd probably end up burning the barn down (Which reminds me of the old chestnut, "Lightning struck the henhouse last night... and we had sudden fried chicken!").

My daughter has a 4-H meeting this weekend. Maybe I can get a lead on where to buy a couple more pullets to distract Bob from Mildred.
