Did the 'meanie' settle down?

Did the 'meanie' settle down?

Quite a bit but not entirely. This morning was cuddled up with the other Buff she's been pecking at. Everyone says she's probably a cockerel, but half of them are probably teasing me

I don't know where you're reading your literature, but 105 is way too hot. 95 is the absolute highest you need.

Temp isn't that high when you hatch them. Why on earth would they need it even hotter afterward? No. Bad literature for sure.

I don't even heat to 95F in the warm side. I keep it around 90ish the first few days and then start dropping it a degree or two every 5 days to a week.

My TSC brooder has two settings that look like Roman numeral 1 and 2. That's it!
