I think you should get one of each, just for comparison sake. But, you might have one die, so perhaps you should get 2 of each. I really like my SLW. She makes nice chicks. And if I could figure out which ones are hers, they'd all be sex linked.

You could always just replace the thermostat. It's obvious that the heating element works!!! Check out the STC 1000. That'll be in my next bator build. Love your story. However, I'm wondering how well your deodorant held up during that time???
