Hey guys!
I got a Magicfly forced air auto turn incubator from amazon recently.
I threw some eggs I thought were fertilized in there, though I later figured out some weren't.
Anyways, following the directions, I got 1 little barred rock pullet out of 9 eggs. Now a good few weren't fertilized (in one coop my only roo is a bantam cochin, so he is a bit small to cover the buffs that live in there) but still I def should have gotten more.
Anyways, I tried to check if temp was maybe the issue.
I tried to calibrate by putting the temp lead in a ice water bath and got -2.5c.
Weew that is a ways off!
So I grabbed a medical thermometer and put it in water I played with until it was exactly 37.5 on the medical thermometer. I got a reading of 35.
This seems a way off, but does it seem correct that I should put my incubator set to 35 to try the next hatch?
Thanks!
