  whatcha settin?>?

  is it done yet?

Lol, nope, been busy

hi,

i'm getting my incubator set up to hatch some chickens. this is only my second time hatching, so i've been rereading all the 101's.

my big problem right now is that i have 2 digital thermometer/hygrometers and a couple of glass thermometers that came with the incubators and they all have different readings.

i'm not sure how to calibrate the digitals because they don't have probes that i can put into boiling water or ice?

i think that maybe last year, i was using an average of all the different readings. i had successful hatches, but can't remember exactly what i was doing to read the temps.

Welcome!l

@NaJoBeLeHi. I am sorry your hatch went poorly. Do you think it was a nutritional issue. I remember reading that failures at hatch can be caused by them. @ChickenCanoeDid you post about this?

Not really sure, they are mixed with the rest of the flock and have been eating the same purina flock raiser. they are on the smaller side as compared to the rest of the flock but I haven't noticed any bullying issues.
