The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

I will addThe medical thermometer may have been close to the heater element.My suggestion is to place a small bottle of water in the bator for a minimun of 30 minute to one hour. Then measure the water in the bottle with the medical thermometer. The temp of the eggs, or water in this case, does not swing like air temp

Razadila if you want to pay shipping I can send you some eggs in a week or two. My youngesters should be laying too by then.

I won't know what I'll have to myself on paypal until the 16th, but I'll let you know if I can do it. Right now I think I'm only going to have about $6 left over after I get my lovely older brother the books he's dieing to have.

Of course, I really want to read two of the three he wants me to get!

Too bad I won't have eggs til the 11th and won't be able to set them on the 12th, this would be fun for my very first hatch

My EcoGlow50 shipped! I guess they weren't too backed up when I ordered.

Their site said out of stock until mid March, but it's shipped now.

haha same here we must have all ordered from the same place
