End of Day 1 readings. Had a severe drop in humidity this morning (to 29%) and brought it back to 50%. Everything has been holding steady. I will have to watch the humidity closer in the morning and make sure I adjust before it drops like this.

I am really bad with chicken math…. But I’ve been informed that as long as everyone has a name then they don’t count! Thus, I have no chickens!

So which egg are you adopting and what superhero name are you blessing it with?
