My Hatching Journey: the Adventures of a Complete Newbie

[BantyChooks]

do you understand yet I have these ok Bubbles the one with the big face is from GQF while easy to read can't be set after calibration . the little one is called a Mainstays from Walmart if you look at the top picture you see the small one has a nut on the probe this one can be set after calibration . I do not trust digital thermometers at all . I pushed the probe through the top of the incubator near the center and it is at the exact right level at the center of the eggs . the big one $25.00 QGF the little $10.00 Walmart this is what I use and the hygrometer you just got . you can buy similar thermometers at auto zone we use them for automotive ac repair . as long as it can be set after calibration you are good .

Thanks

Does this look good?
I really don't know what I'm looking for.

Texture is crumbly, but slightly moldable.

Good.
Temperature is about about 67-70.
I can't wait to get them set, but I am trying not to rush it.

Thanks, the oldest of them is 7 days old as of Saturday at 8:00 am. I might cycle the oldest out if I get more eggs.
