Sounds good! The differences in the springfield units is understandable...it kind of amazes me that they're actually that close together.

Crazy?....nah, quiet sane actually!

Keep us posted on the hatch!!!

I all ways keep mine at 99.5 when I incubate and hatch and it seems to do pretty good...

Just got home a little while ago and there is NO pip...

What my son thought was a hole in the egg turned out to be just a smudge. I am sooooooooo disappointed and feeling a little foolish at the moment. Sorry for posting earlier but I thought it was truly a pip.

OK so just before going to bed last night I checked the bator and had pips on 3 eggs. This am one of them had pipped enough that I can see the color of the baby, the other two look the EXACT same as they did last night. How bad is that? The one that I can see coloring on was peeping at 4:30 this am but since then I haven't heard anything and the hole hasn't gotten any bigger. I'm at work now so I don't know what's going on. How long from pip to zip to hatch? When should I start to get concerned? (as if I'm not already!!)

I've heard of'em takin' 24 hours.

Go chicks, GO!!!!!

They will be fine. I hatch out my eggs in my hovabator 1602n, and the temp stays at around 97-98 for the hatch, and I never have any problems.
