Setting on Good Friday

[krazycow6]

My buff Goldie started on a clutch on the 2nd and laid her last on the 3rd. I've marked them all with a sharpie to make sure nobody else adds any!! She is such a good mommy so far, I put her in her own private nest so the other wouldn't bother her as much!! I just hope she's getting up to eat cause I haven't seen her yet!

I had to open my Sportsman, to move some eggs into the hatcher today. I just could not resist, and candled the Islandics. Every single one showed veining! YAY ! ! !

Well I am slightly upset so i went to the hardware store bought another hydrometer and brought it home for the second bator . So I decided to put it in the one i have eggs next to my old one to see what it read OMG it read 65% humidity and 101 temp so thinking its new it has to be right i removed turner for 20 seconds soaked up some water.And i accidentally jared the eggs

none cracked tg just rolled a bit. Any way stuck both hydrometer in there left for 15 mins come bk and its reading 102 the new one I was like no way. So went out to dhs truck grabed his home inspector bag . And took out his $600.00 temp reader and his $400 dollar humidity reader I pointed the lazer at the eggs they read 98.8 which is about right. Nice to get some perks out of those tools of his LOL Still waiting on the humidity reader to stabilize in there. So now i dont know what to do i am not puting the eggs in second bator till i go bk to the store with this new one and get a different one. UGHHHH already stressed at day 6 how will i make it threw . I did cheat and look at one egg saw vein

s so lets hope i dont cook or drown them trying to get this figured out.

You need to calibrate the hygrometer, even the new ones can be off by a lot. Happy hatching!

I have four different hygrometers. Four different readings,,, but within 5 points from top to bottom.

Where is a good place to get a hygrometer? Is it hydro or hygro?
