little giant 9300

I sat it on the empty end of a carton, lower left quadrant from the heater. I'm reading temperature off of my scientific thermometer that's been in the same place the entire time. Thinking its more accurate now than the digital probe.

Im running my temp (according to the lg digital thermostat) at 103.5. My brinsea spot check says its 100.5 and my accurite says its 100. Thats exactly what i did last hatch

One chick has pipped outside of shell, I can hear peeping and half the eggs are rocking! So exciting! Great Morning!

That little chick pipped zipped and was out in under an hour. Now it has flipped around every corner of the incubator. Wedged itself between carton and wall twice, so I moved all eggs to one carton off to the side. Did not like opening incubator but couldn't let the chick stay wedged. Humidity and temp all jumbled, took about 1/2 an hour to get it back stable. Chick is drying nice and upright, seems to be calming down. No pops on any of the others yet.

Our first chick!

Another pipped closer to pointy end, little alarming, I can hear it chirping, I hope it can zip. Watching and waiting now.
