My Hatching Journey: the Adventures of a Complete Newbie

[BantyChooks]

you know I'm seeing a different Bubbles here .cut the temperature 100.5 to 101.5 try to hold there hope you have it in a spot where the temperature doesn't change and stays pretty steady .

Why cut it?

I thought target temperature for still air was 102.

Why cut it...?

still air is one degree higher than forced air which runs at 99.5 and you try to hold it there sally is running higher In a cooler bater if your at 102 and you get a spike it can kill you eggs 104 is real bad give your self room and really 101 should be the max temp. your L G is really bad about spiking watch for it . if you get a spike take off the top quick . learn what the eggs feel like to the touch .spikes hit mid day most of the time . got it

Better to learn something now than in the middle of a hatch.

I turned it a hair. I will wait a few hours and see what that does.

Nah, if I got ta learn it sometime, now is the best time!

setting tomorrow evening is perfect you have time . other thing have you candled your eggs yet to see if any are real porous mark those so you know which ones they are the air cells will grow quicker in them . the ones with the densest shell will grow slower if you don't know what to look for google it .

I candled a few, but not all.

Good luck you two!

Thanks Friday.

I added a probe thermometer. I think I will run for a while longer and then set.

I am over-thinking it a bit now, aren't I?
