Hey Hey Hey...the vigil begins in cold country  

No vigil here.
Gonna have to let nature do her thing. Long busy day, and work tomorrow means lights out soon.
They are gonna have to learn to do it on their own.

And yes, I have ear plugs so I don't wake up thinking I hear chirping

you are running that high? it should be down at the eggs, the idea is to have the center temp of the egg at 99.8 is ultimate temps for ebryos. so if you can put it in a water wigler or something at the same hight it will read internal temps or close to it.

Probe thermometer & water weasel (Water Wiggler, Water Snake) found on Amazon or Ebay make for EXCELLENT internal temp guides! The perfect internal temperature of an embryo is 99.5 degrees. If you can't find a water wiggler you can make your own with ziplock filled with water folded in half and insert the probe in the center middle. or you can attempt to make one from a ziplock​

​

or I use one of these folded with the probe in the middle​

ice heat pack​

So is it 99.5 or 99.8?

Don't use one. I usually wake on my own before 430 am, and if I don't, the dogs certainly wake me up before 5 doin the 'I gotta pee' dance.

I think all the chicks are out for this week's hatch. Total is 155. That blows away my old record of 114 in a single week. Lots of legbar pullets.

Congrats!

If you attach it to the exterior plastic yes you will get a false reading. Thats because the plastic is being influenced by two different temps, the outside room temp amd the interior bator temp. Depending on the room temp you could have a 20-30* difference between those two temps.

Exactly what I figured. I moved the thermometer (digital) at stuck it to the egg separators
