Yes the humidity part, but I don't use the temperature part. I use a fish tank thermometer.

Ahh okay. That makes sense. I have the Brinsea Spot Check thermometer for temp which seems to work well.

Idk what I’m gonna with 5 hygrometers

I was a little indecisive.

And you totally should!!!

I have a mini refrigerator that my father bought for me 6 years ago and it stopped working, but I don't want to get rid of it!

I want to make it into an incubator. I have to gut it and everything.

Are you selling your chicks? Keeping them? What are you going to do with the extra Cockerels?

They included this nice info sheet and stamped the eggs with the breed. I can’t quite decipher all of them, some are a bit smudged, but maybe there will be another stamp on the other side or something haha but from the ones I can decipher.... I’ve got some AWESOME ones!!!

That would be so cool! You should do it!!

I haven’t figured that out yet.

I think I will probably keep them at least until they are old enough to sex though and then try to sell or give away the extra males and keep the hens. I don’t have room in my current coop so I’m planning on building a separate coop to grow them all out in. I am also going to make a brooder in the garage to start them off in. If I can’t sell the males I guess I’ll have to eat them but I’m really hoping I won’t have to. I have some cool breeds so should hopefully be easy to rehome but we’ll see. I may even try to keep one.
