Sally - you are so fast! I just set eggs and tried to find the right place to update the set number of eggs on the Easter Hatch-a-long to see my number already there. Thank you!

It was mike!
I feel bad for those that need more room in their incubators. I have one that holds 41 with the turner, and the other holds... IDK. About that. The one I just bought hasn't even been used yet.

I probably shouldn't admit to that stuff on here.

Ok I've driven myself crazy trying to calibrate thermometers and confirm what the temp of the 1588 is...3 out of 4 thermometers say 100 on the nose!

So my best bet is to turn the incubator down to 99.5-99.6, right? I only put a bit of water in the first reservoir because without water, humidity was about 10%,..humidity is currently at 41%...& we'd like to set the eggs tonight!
99.8 is to be actual best, dont go below 99.5

What? A girl can only drink so much coffee out of an incubator before it gets old having to clean the coffee stains out. Besides, the rattle snakes, penguins, and alligators were all a little too hyper. They hatched in three days, then cleaned the shells out themselves!

Sally I've hatched 7 EEs (5 black and 2 blonde). There are four green eggs left, and five honas left. Two honas are pipped. It's just now day 21 so I think my temps were a tad warm.

Hmm... Temp isn't going over 100.5, should I put on another scarf or leave it for the night? It has been 4 hours...
