New member, 1st chicken hatch, Day 18...Lockdown!

Thank you. That’s a auto timer that I ordered in amazon to control the temperature. It’s st up at 102 and when it goes down to 101 the light goes on to bring the temperature to 102. Is that the way it’s supposed to work?

You mean a 'thermostat' AKA 'temperature controller'? An auto timer doesn't do that, all an auto timer does it tell the heating / cooling element or whatever you have hooked up to turn ON/OFF at a given time of the day / night...... that's it, it doesn't regulate the heat like a temperature controller does.

Don't worry about it too much then. Get some rest and relax. Everything is going to be OK. You are on day 19 now so there is nothing more to be done except to wait. Keep an eye on the temp and humidity every now and then and with luck you should have some activity in the next couple of days.

Thanks!

Yes. You are absolutely correct. That’s what I meant.
