Still air or forced air?

And yes, I don't toss till much later.

It has a fan. I left the thermometer in that I tested with earlier
in the week, it ran right around 100. So that is the one I think
is accurate. it's hovering right at 100 now. The other is a digital
thermometer and I have no idea how accurate it is. And I
would never toss eggs! I'm a premie baby nurse and we don't
give up on any babies!

That is awesome. What a wonderful job to have...hard I am very sure, but wonderful. 100 sounds good. I was having problems with temp and humidity last night for the first time in lockdown. The humidity shot up to 80% and temp 102! I freaked out lol. It was only there for a little bit (the temp) - I added cold water and pulled the lid - and I removed the second sponge I had in there. I have always locked down the same way but for some reason last night it wanted to be difficult. It's been holding steady at 99.6 all day with 72% humidity which is where I keep it.

I'm sure the weather really affects everything, more than we
realize. It is a wonder the simple chicken can do such a good job.
