[Beer can]

well how do u know what the temp is in it constantly

You don't stare at your incubator all day do you?

@chicken hawk 33 get a thermo that has a history display if you are worried, one of mine does that it gives the highs and lows over the last 24 hours

but its from china so i have no idea what its called

I want it to be right

as we all do, but life happens, you cant stand there the entire time you have to let it do its thing, i checked mine 3x a day when i turned my eggs, if it wasnt accurate at othertimes i dont care, it was correct when i turned the eggs, so therefore i am assuming it was correct at the other times too

Chickens I have 10 Rhodebars, and 6-7 Dollie/sizzle/Cochins. And 8 mix breeds

I have 9 turkeys in blue slate, red slate, pencilled palm, narrangsett and bronze.

And 8 geese 6 Chinese 1 white 5 brown and 2 Toulouse.

wow, you really have cut back!

Yes and I have decided I am going to work on just Rhodebars and the Sizzles and then maybe one or two more breeds and slowly increase over the years.

Order one of the 2 that Chicken Canoe suggested. calibrate and run the bator for 24 hours to make sure temp is steady and correct. I've found that my humidity is good and I don't need to add water until lockdown. And don't keep opening the bator! The less you mess with it the better chance you have.

I am very interested in the Native American, I prefer to call them Indians, history since I was a boy, all the beautiful books of Fenimore Cooper karl may, Jack London, all the comix of Tex willer, al the westerns I LOVE IT! I see alot of films at You tube about old technology and cooking ect.

I love learning about all native cultures and technology too. I don't know as much about those that were in the Northeast as I do about those farther west and in the Southeast. I probably know more about the Mesoamericans and some of the Central American tribes than I do about those in what is now the US and Canada. 

but how does a spot check work if u need to have the temp checked constantly on the eggs

Not sure I understand the question. It works just like any other thermometer except it has a probe so the digital unit with the readout is outside the incubator and the probe is inside with the eggs.

I love to lern about them too! I now understand way you loved "epoclipto" even that the end of it wasn't my taste, that it needed that the white man should come to end the barbaric rituals, like some kind of saviour!

someday i may want turkey eggs off you, esp if theyre from the pencilled one

the accuracy looks decent and i like that it keeps a 24 hour history
but you need to calibrate it, no matter what
