Oops, sorry, I meant what are the temperature readings, the actual temp. ?

You would think with a fan the temp would be the same. I broke my mercury thermometer

Thank you everyone!! I really, really didn't expect this win. There were 290 chances, and I only had 4 of them.


I don't think I've ever seen a weasle, but I did notice the gaps in the fencing. So, there will be some modifications. Probably adding some vents to the coop, adding a closable door at the top of that ramp, and closing up the gaps along the fencing where the panels join. But of all the coops I've bought, rather than built myself, this has the best fencing of them all.

Sorry!! But, the best part of this was the $20 INCLUDES the shipping....

That is a wonderful score.
You likely have long tailed weasels if you're anywhere near water.

I had never SEEN any members of the Mustelid family before mink killed $2,000 worth of birds in 6 buildings with locked doors in the course of a week.

Go to Brinse.com and get a real incubation thermometer.

I suspect that your thermometer is not sensitive enough for an accurate reading. Many thermometers are accurate at +- 1 or 2 degrees and they do not detect change quickly enough. That would make wonky readings because of that.

Good point!

Let me introduce the Palawan peacock pheasant, Polyplectron napoleonis ( @casportpony see this)

Yes, you would think so. Ron has a good point about thermometers can be a degree or two off. Since you mentioned mercury, are you using medical thermometers? I'm really baffled on such a temp discrepancy.
