I'm hoping they are OK or only delayed a bit.

I'm not sure I'm following you correctly as to the positioning of the second thermometer, nor am I very experienced; however, I've noticed room temperature has a tremendous effect on the thermal stacking in my still air. Last fall and winter it was fairly easy to maintain a steady room temp.; now we've had a couple of 80 degree days and the wafer had to be adjusted "lower" on those days and then back "higher" as the temperatures returned to more moderate levels. I'll soon have to put an airconditioner in that room if I want to keep running.

I track temperatures at the middle of the egg with an indoor/outdoor, Acurite digital thermometer. I lower the outdoor probe through a plugged vent hole, then use the plug to hold it at the right level.

As I was checking my bators, I realized the wafer is not marked "lower" and "higher"; I drew my own marks with a black sharpie on the white styrafoam incubators because this bug is making it hard for me to read and think at times

Cracked me up beyond belief...don't know why it was so funny, but I'm grateful, because it was a good laugh!!

I'll go fix it. I am MENTALLY out to sea right now- taking a trip to Denver over the weekend with short notice and very stressed about hatches happening and bird care while I'm gone. Hubby is willing, but a tad resentful, and of course no one could possible do anything to my standards because I'm a control freak...which I'm sure reveals that I don't fly well and will be heavily medicated for the trip...

I generally have to be poured on and off of planes...

I'm hoping I can make those two rows last me two weeks!!... and I give the pods to the hens to fight over.

The Arizona Thread has turned into a Haiku thread... pretty funny.

We were just talking about doing eggtopsies on non developers

The inside of egg
Does it have a bulls eye? or
Is it just a dud?

How funny! What is the Arizona thread? Send me a link...
