I tried it once with a rectal thermometer and got several different results in just a matter of minutes (102-105), so I called UC Davis and asked them how to take the temp of a bird and they told me that rectal temps are unreliable, but didn't offer any alternatives. Figured I'd try to see if I could get more reliable results under the wing.

I hope you were careful and not get your oral thermometers mixed up with the chicken's rectal thermometers. Just saying...    :eek:

You're probably going to get more stable readings checking under the wings, which should be closer to internal temps as long as the wings have been folded for awhile.  :thumbsup


I use DH's :oops:

Just curious and really am looking for a decent baseline on healthy birds. Then next time I have a sick one, it will be interesting to see what it's temp is.
