Ignore the humidity. I think it needs to be recalibrated.

Have you had any issues with the paper cartons? I considered using the 30-egg cartons for my “test” cabinet run, but was a little worried about the paper.
I set 51 chicken eggs last week.

It has often been claimed that the paper cartons mess with the humidity but I used paper cartons as egg holders in my cabinet incubator for many years without any issues. Because mine is a forced air incubator, I cut the bottoms out of the cartons hoping to help with heat transfer and circulation.

That was another part of my consideration. But I finally broke down and just ordered some plastic ones. Found some cheap on Amazon, didn’t realize they are coming from China and probably won’t get her before my chicks hatch!

No. I stopped using them for a while after I was warned of possible impact on hatch rate and temp/humidity issues, but went back to them because they're so convenient. I keep getting 100% hatches in local eggs, so I don't think it matters!

Seem to have lost my license. Cleaned my purse this afternoon and it was NOT in my wallet or purse. And my purse was a disaster and had not been cleaned in a VERY long time and filled with receipts, loose money, etc. so I hadn’t noticed and haven’t even opened my wallet in a while cause I just used the loose money or a credit card and hadn’t needed to. Well, I should have because I might have noticed my license wasn’t in there. And because I haven’t opened my wallet in a while and hadn’t even noticed it was missing, I have no idea when or where or HOW I lost it or any idea of where it might be. Good thing I finally cleaned out my purse and noticed it was missing cause otherwise, who knows when I would have noticed. It is possible it has been missing since I got back from my trip or fell out on the plane or something. I don’t remember where I last had it. Which makes it that much more annoying. I will be looking for it all day today and tomorrow but I do not think I am going to find it. It might be in one of my suitcases, coats, or pants. I will be going through everything I brought on the trip as well as my car (which is also a disaster atm) and hopefully I will find it soon. But I think I will also order another one tonight just in case I can’t find it. I hate to spend the money on it if it is in my suitcase or car or somewhere but I need to have one. Can’t be driving around without one and I need one for all the concerts I’m going to next month and the trip to Arizona. I don’t drink so for the concerts it doesn’t really matter, I’ll just tell them I don’t drink or lost it and get the under 21 wristband even though I’m not, but I need ID for the flight to AZ. That’s not till the end of March but still. Thinking I’m going to order one. I think it comes pretty fast. But I think I might look for it first because I really hate to order one when I know it is somewhere. Idk.

Also, had some Coke (Coca Cola lol) at Subway for the first time in forever. Tastes good and will hopefully keep me awake but it felt like those first few sips hit just like real coke lol not that I know what really coke feels like cause I’ve never had any and never will but still. How I imagine it feels hah
