The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

[Razadia]

My new humidity gauge/ thermometer is here. Problem is my accurate thermometer is dead and my brother keeps forgetting to bring me a battery, so I have no idea if the thermometer is correct and I can't test it. Also, the meat thermometer that has saved many hatches has disappeared.

On the bright side, the humidity gauge is only 1% off the actual RH in the house. So, there's that.

Ugh on things disappearing when you need them
Definitely no other way to test the temp?

I wish. The probe is open on the end for humidity.

:/ You will have to constantly harass your brother for the battery!

I will be joining this year. Two years ago I found out I was pregnant during the Easter Hatch A Long and you were all the firsts too know. A few months later my daughter was stillborn at 21 weeks... Last year I planned to join but then when I started reading everyone's posts I just couldn't handle all the reminders. This year I am far enough a long in my grieving that I can handle it..... I will be setting eggs...as soon as the eggs hatching in my incubator finisb and I set more eggs and they finish...and it is then finally time to set eggs for the hatch a long

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. I'm sure we're all glad to know you are doing better and that you will be joining us this year. I hope you don't mind if I say a prayer for you and for your peace. What will you be hatching this year?

Happiness is holding a new born chick!!!!

I love this pic!!! I am hoping to bring some brand new chicks into my Grandpa's assisted living facility this year. I wish I could hatch there but I won't attempt it until I have a 100% foolproof bator.

I have been. He loves about 45 mins away, so he doesn't stop by often. I managed to forget about while I was there on Sunday.
