I went onto ebay and bought 10 scientific thermometers for $20. I use them for hatching and my homemade soaps and just love them.The only drawback is that they are in Celcius but after using them I find it much easier to read than Fahrenheit thermometers. I have calibrated them all and every one of them was dead on.

thanks! I found these, are they similar??

Yes those would work too. These are the ones that I bought: Thermometers

My eggs did not show up again even though the post office website said they should be here today. They are blessed where ever they are! I imagine I will get them in the morning.

Hope they show soon & all are good

My eggs came today so I will be hatching along with you all. I will put them in the incubator tomorrow morning... 24 buff brahma and 10 LF cochin. I have read all that I can on here about how to set up the incubator so I am going with my gut feeling. Will be praying that I get something to hatch in 21 days.

I don't want to highjack the thread, but the description calls them partial immersion thermometes, does that mean they have to be submerged to read accurately?

No. I just lay them between the eggs so that the bulb part is even with the center of the eggs. These are a long thermometer-11" in length. I don't know what kind of incubator you have but just wanted to make sure it fits.

Just wanted to update: Day 7 just candled my 12 blk. australorps and I see 11 very active little ones -

, the other has a blood ring but not giving up on it yet.

that they all make it!

As for the 20 bantam cochins - waiting for a few - once again I freak out when I see the temp go down to 98 for a few minutes & the humidity down to 20. So cover back on & I'll wait until it goes back up or wait until tomorrow.

At this point I am just very excited about the viable eggs that were shipped, I almost can't believe it.

I really really really want the cochins BAD, not only because I paid way way way more for them but because these are what I want to add to my current 6 and breed, so I hope the outcome is just as good.

Wish I could take pics but once again I freak out too much to take the time.

Wow! That is great news about your candling. I will be candling mine tomorrow on day 7. I have been counting down the hours all day. I hope I have a better result than I did with my shipped eggs last time.... We will see tomorrow
