Do you have a good thermometer?

I have a meat thermometer that's battery operated that I use for everything but meat

I have 40 eggs and it fits 41. I guess I'll order it for pick up so my husband doesn't lose himself inside Walmart

I'm sorry to confuse you.
I have that exact temperature/ humidy device.
I don't use the thermostat part of it. I only use the humidity reading because I can calibrate that part of it and not the thermometer part.

And where do you stick the fish tank thermometer? Stick it on the plastic top or is there a better location o should use

Days 1-3 are the most important for temperature is there anyway you think the other would continue to lay in the other boxes if u removed the ceramics until she either learns or hatches?

Yeah, I can remove all other eggs. (The fake ones)

At egg level. Mid-egg if you can.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to incubators, do I leave the red plug in?

Sorry if this is a stupid question

I have the same one! I leave them in and only take them out when the humidity gets too high. Once it goes back to a normal range I stick them back in.

Ok... One of them is missing so I'm going to have to cover it with tape.

No, they really aren’t important.
