That's great! I love the incubator windows

Welcome to hatching addiction. It's wonderful.

Its day 10 and I candled today. I have 6 out of 9 that were fertile. It seems my rooster only pay a visit to 2 of the hens, I guess the other 2 are ugly...lol. I never see him even look at my 2 small hens. I have even opened all 4 of my eggs and only found 2 fertile. Oh well I guess I can give them a makeover or something.
As far as the temperature goes in my homemade incubator goes its still holding between 90-100 degrees. That would be 1/2 degree swing. I don't think thats to bad for a water heater thermostat. I am wondering what a wafer thermostat will hold, and what is the variance of a wafer thermostat. If anybody has monitored there wafer thermostat temps let me know, it would be nice to compare.
