MGG's Hatching Thread!

[DucksAreBest]

I use these for mostly humidity, but temp sometimes too if the temp is accurate when calibrating.

And these for temp. They were readily available, lol.

I really want to get Govees someday though.

Thank you!

Both Orpingtons internally pipped!!!

I also let my new broody (broody #2) sit on two of her goofy mixed eggs, to see if when they hatch she accepts these better. However, my reliable broody went broody a week and a half ago so I might take one of broody #2's eggs and give it to her, and let broody #2 keep one egg. Then split the chicks between them when they hatch. Idk, lol. Hopefully at least one of them accepts all of the chicks. So I should have 7 babies, hopefully!

@MGG, are Govees considered the best thermometers/hygrometers?

I mean, IDK which kind of Govee MGG is talking about but I think the ones I've seen are small (easy to fit in an incubator) and you don't have to be near the incubator to see temp and humidity, and you can see the temp and humidity history and set low and high alarms.

I want to buy one of these: Govee H5102, Govee H5075, Govee H5074, or this one.

I’m talking about the Govee H5074, I really want one too

 

[MGG]

They're very good from what I've seen.
@CluckNDoodle has them I think so she should be able to answer any questions about them. I'm looking into them too.

4 external pips!!! And OMG, one of the Orps is splash I think!!!

 

[MGG]

Splash-looking Orp.

Splash-looking Ameraucana.

One Orp is internally pipped but not externally yet, he sounds very strong. As in, he's loud.
And the both Pene mixes externally pipped. I'm so excited! It's day 21 now.
