I'm just calling it a he, I'm not at all sure

Awesome!! Congrats!!!
How are the others doing? I know I saw another pip in one of those pics.

 

[ChickenPalace123]

yes a second has piped, he is all dried off. he is in the brooder because he wasn't drying (i put the humidity pretty high to help keep the membrane moist on the one that hatched)

this is a bad picture but here he is

[ChickenPalace123]

Does anyone have a recommendation and outlet site to buy a thermometer . I am using a still air incubator this year for the first time and am having trouble setting the humidity and temperature levels. I set a humidity and thermometer inside and also reading one on top of incubator and they do not read the same.

Pet store? Reptile and aquarium thermometers seem to be relatively accurate.
