Started unofficial test run- I didn't realize how much I missed the hum of the auto turner...
(K, I did find a way to measure temps just below the top of the egg- hooray for cardboard and sticky tac!)

Where are you anyway outside ice crusted on top that is so wrong .Hm... Sorta inconclusive results on calibration.... Rock bottom is 30, and both of them went to 30, but this time I used whole ice cubes instead of crushed and sat it outside until it got a ice crust on top. Soo... Should I say that's good enough? Try again with crushed? Maybe it was too cold?

Edit: retried, the one I didn't let touch the ice cubes read 32, that musta been the problem.
I'm definitely not in Florida.Ice crusted on top, that is so wrong.crushed ice wait two minutes stick it in the ice water .but it sounds ok after the second try and they both read the same. I told you they are very good thermometers just hard to read in the high range .
I read the cardboard, good! like I said your bright . Are you running yet ? Or waiting till tomorrow ?
I have finished my steam cleaning and now to disinfect and reassemble . That is two maybe three hours work. I'll be up late tonight . I have to set running out of room for eggs . they are every where .I may fill another next week .
Mine knows I am!they think I have a problem with internet addiction call this chicken face book
Running outa room already? Wow, you must have a ton of chickens....

"A few chickens"Three dozen a day Two of those hatching eggs. some straight EEs others black AM Roos over EEs and GLWs. quiet a few young Marans pullets coming on now . plus a few mixed that I want to see what the eggs look like Marans and GLW crosses and a few other crosses . i have four different project crosses going on right now . so yes a few chickens
I started gathering for set on the 24th but may start from the 25th enough to fill the incubator and then some on the eggs . My EEs lay pretty blue eggs . and a good size . for a medium sized chicken."A few chickens"
I'm pretty sure that phrase is the biggest understatement that has ever been posted here...

Edit: really nice breeds though!
