Ok so I decided that no mater what I'm done incubating for the time being because the chicks I hatch now will be 6 mo old at hardiest part of winter so ill wait till October to put any more in the bator if I do put any more before spring other then that temp and turning un eventfull today except my daughter stole my mini bators to try to hatch out eggs she's trying 6 and the chicks will be her little project so there you have it
