update .. out of the six so far 4 have hatched - number 4 just minutes ago, the 5th has pipped and is working on zipping , and im thinking number 6 may be a dud but still has time .... they have such pretty colors too !!! they are almost like a silver over the yellow .. wel lthe first three .. number 4 is still wet so little too soon to tell and he looks a little darker even wet .... yes yes i know not believable without pics but those will come tonight when i pull them to the brooder ..... i cant believe so many hatched after all the spikes and the power going out for 4+ hours last week .. they are so tiny .. and so resilient it seems !!!!!

That always makes me feel better to hear others had good hatches with power/heat issues! Congrats and good luck with the ones in progress!
 
Quote: No, it doesn't do points. While it isn't an expensive model, Wal Mart only has one brand (that I remember seeing) and the models varied by inside/outside temps and humidity. This one was in the middle as far as models and cost. About $15. The room itself drops about ten degrees with the door shut.
I will add another thermometer today or tomorrow.
Assuming it is right, SHOULD I try to adjust, or leave it?
Oz do you have suggestions here? I would raise it, set my cell alarm and keep checking to make sure its back on, I wonder if putting it into a closet would help! That flux in the house is amazing, do you have a big window in the room? no other room like the bathroom you can keep it?
The bedroom is the only safe place. My DH's aunt will be staying with me for another week or two until I can get her into the proper living facility. Until then, she would be unplugging the incubator, and fiddling with the knob.
I do think I will run an extension cord to the closet.
