OK, so I got my humidity/temp sensor from Walmart. I unpacked my eggs and only found 3 broken. I've read that you're supposed to leave the eggs sit for a while before putting them in the bator. But, considering my eggs were a day late getting here, which is worse: waiting another day (they shipped from Idaho on Monday) to put them in the bator? or put them in the bator after only 4-5 hrs rest? What say you? Thanks!
Edit: Make that 4 broken. But that's ok, since IDHOUND sent an extra dozen.
I would go ahead and test your hygrometer...I know it's new, but most aren't accurate. Mine reads about 7% low, so I know to add that to whatever it reads in order to get the correct number. I would also recommend testing it every spring. Just google it or search on this site...all the instructions are pretty much the same. Just make sure you don't have any water sitting on top of your "slurry" when you make it. It does make a difference. Good luck! Please post pics when they hatch.
