I did put a thermometer in the bottom to check the temp and it was reading between 99 and 100. I am such a novice at this new cabinet bator i can't tell you anything with reliablility at this point. I am just saying I need to up mine a bit cause a friend of mine who has been hatching in one for...

Here they are. I did a crazy thing and could kick myself. I have hatched long enough to know better. I had five eggs left with no pips yet. This day 22. I cracked it open to see why didn't hatch and it was a black coneheaded baby alive but not ready to get here yet. Still hadn't absorbed all...
