Question for everyone:
My neighbor has a hen they lays double yolk eggs... he said he can give me one if I want.... Do y’all think I should or no??

Definitely. It would be awesome to see another (hopefully) double yoker success story.

Okay! He said his hen lays in the afternoon.

Day 1 y’all!:
Eggs are doing great! I’ve already turned them once, and will be doing so 3 times per day.

Temp: 99.5*F
Humidity: 51%

Is this still air?
Can you lower the humidity closer to 35%?

Day 1... I noticed these little calcium “spots” on one of the EE eggs and I candled it to make sure there wasn’t anything wrong on the inside, on the inside (when candled) the calcium spots turn a fluorescent brown color(?)

Are you holding this egg vertical and then it is laying horizontal?

Forced air. And there isn’t any water added either. It’s not ideal but idk what else to do

Oops, I didn’t know that was against the rules

Gotcha.
Has the humidity gauge been calibrated?
