I have two thermometers which are reading different.
I have a still air machine and on day 29. 3 have not pipped, 1 definitely has and the other i am unsure of. My question is which thermometer do i go by? Is this why my hatch dates are slow because it could be cold?

Hello all,
I am a first time hatcher.
My cayuga duck eggs are on day 23 in a still air polyhatcher. As hatching time approaches i have a few questions:

3. Should i fill both trays now...
