Keep us updated! I use the brinsea spotcheck thermometer to double check my built in incubator thermomeyer.

My first bator was a Styrofoam one that I lost my first batch. I then bought a plastic one with digital temp control and humidity control. It has a fan also. What I think I done was put them in around 3pm one day and counted that as a day. It is going on day 23 on the bator but actually might be only day 22. 1 is pipping now and I might of jumped the gun to quick with all the questions. The is much appreciated

Day 1 is actually day 0 because it takes a bit for the eggs to get up to the right temperature to start working. for me having humidity thay high early on would kill the chicks but if i live near the ocean so its just humid here.

Sit on your hands for a bit itll take about 24 hours after pipping through the shell. Theyll get quiet for a long while after pipping. glad to hear they started for you

If you set the eggs on Saturday at 3 PM then 21 days was This past Saturday at 3PM. If that's the case then we are almost done with day 22 as I type this. If that's the case then just write a note on incubator with masking tape to incubate half degree F more next go round.
