January Hatch-a-long 2018

[The Golden Egg5]

All three of my thermometers are reading different numbers in my incubator.

Funny.. I am just now looking at my calendar to see what day they will hatch. (I know not to count first day.) Looks like the 26th.

golden eggs- I know what you mean, my octagon 40 digital reads 37c. but my temp on the eggs says 100f.

Wow! That’s quite a difference!

I am going to believe my therm, on the eggs, the lady said the octagon 40 was running hot, if I had the digital on the machine at 37.5c my temp on the eggs would be way hotter. The difference is only about 1.4 degrees f.

The oct. 40 is English made hence the "c".

I have had 2 of those very handy. The first one got lost (kids) so I got another one.

It seems to be pretty good. I’m checking the hydrometer accuracy right now. Is there any way to check for temperature accuracy?

Husband said nothing I got away with incubating!
