So, my brooder is getting rained on. I haven't brought it in yet due to being busy. Won't even be able to try to get it inside until after Blu gets home here in the next hour. If it starts lightening? Yeah, no. It can stay out there in that case.

Nice, now come build me one.
Or get a Brinsea Spot Check Thermometer. You can also tell temperature by timing your hatch, if they hatch early then your temperature is high, if they hatch late then your temperature is low.@Sally Sunshine Hi Sally & Mike, I have 4 pips this morningThis is suppose to be hatch day, but upon calibrating the therm/hygro in the incubator that they spent the first 18 days in. For some reason the thermo was off a degree. I had calibrated it just at the start of putting those eggs in. I'm not certain why or when it changed but that would explain why these eggs are running late. So glad I checked it before adding another full tray into that incubator. Sally thanks for STRESSING the importance of calibrating before EVERY hatch
Sneaky little quail.
Adorable! I see quite a few pips too! Make sure the chick doesn't get smooshed by the other eggs though.

If you've got some old closet doors, pallets, exterior paint, and hardware cloth sitting around, you can do it yourself. Each level took about 3 days to complete, including the drying time for the paint. Simple and practically free.Nice, now come build me one.

Yep shame on me, have multiple thermometers but have add a couple incubators & the extras were being used. I am doing a 24 hour recalibration on 2 right now, so a little short. Luckily the one that was off can be changed. Added a thermo/hygro that I knew was 100% correct. Then changed the factory settings. I do need to purchase a few more though.@Sally Sunshine Hi Sally & Mike, I have 4 pips this morning This is suppose to be hatch day, but upon calibrating the therm/hygro in the incubator that they spent the first 18 days in.

e You have pips to look at!
I always check too as my first ever hatch was a complete bust by only going on the incubator, totally cooked the eggs
Drilled in now to always check!!
