➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

i’m thinking of candling tonight.......

So it was too low? I have a million thermometer/hygrometer things atm and almost threw them out recently cause I have nowhere to put them and they were annoying me just sitting there I kept them though cause I figured I might need them if I ever hatched again. Which I probably won’t now but still. Funny too considering all the other stuff everywhere but this one little ziplock baggie of thermometers was annoying me

My calibrated thermometers are reading 100.
I stuck a brand new theremometer in this afternoon, right next to a known theremometer. It's ready 104.

If I took out my known thermometers and only had this brand new one in the bator I would turn the bator down (if I didn't know it was reading too high) and this would not be good or correct because I would be dropping the temp by four degrees. This would make the brand new thermometer read 100 but in reality it would be reading 96.

I can not explain it in any other way. Does it make sense this time?

OH MY GOD KELSEY! You are such a waster.
Stop hoarding crap just to throw it away.
This drives me NUTS!

Cinco de May eggs from a stranger for them to keep
and some of my homegrown Pansy fee's eggs.

Ohhhh okay that makes sense now. Sorry, I thought you were saying it was reading 96 right now

She’s in good company; I played safe this time, I really want them to hatch (which means they probably wont, you know, Murphy’s law and all that).

Upright makes sense, that’s usually what I do with my shipped eggs. I have a hate on for auto turners this year I may have to MacGyver something.

Can you put a book under one side of the bator to tilt the eggs and move the book a few times each day...to the other side of the bator?
