The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

I am here figuring out what is up. I should work on a Daly Digest?

At first I thought folks wanted to see my candling video:



Or maybe my more recent Duck Hatch Video

Quote: I do. I love fish; they're so relaxing to watch... and a lot cleaner than letting chickens in the house!

Hey, Time-Out. About the phone thing. Don't think you get a notice on a cell phone about agreeing or not to charge you for a reversed charge call. You do for home phone though. Cells work differently.

That's a clever loop-hole and a very frustrating one for you. Thanks for the warning. I'll check my bills a little closer now

see the notes I turned red below........
you may even need to reset by removing the battery, I didnt have to do much with mine, they are on, I calibrated originally with an incubator thermometer and that was done with both crushed ice and boiling water.

CALIBRATION of thermometers:
Freezing point method.
Fill a glass with crushed ice. Add a LITTLE clean water until the glass is full and stir. Wait 3 minutes then insert the thermometer tip into the ice-filled glass so it’s in the water ice mixture. Wait a minute and if the thermometer reads 32 F then it’s accurate, and if it does not, it requires calibration.

Boiling point method.
Boil water in a pot, about 6” deep. When the water is at boiling point, place the thermometer into the water and make sure that the tip stays in the middle of the boiling pot, away from bottom and sides. Wait 30 seconds and check if the thermometer reads correctly at 212 degrees if you are at sea level or below 1,000 feet elevation. The boiling point of water varies for different elevations: sea level at 212 F, 1000 feet at 210 F, 2000 feet at 208 F, 3000 feet at 206.4 F, 5000 feet at 202.75 F, and 8,000 feet at 197.5 F. The thermometer needs calibration if the reading is incorrect.

Calibrate the Digital Thermometer
Adjust the nut of the digital thermometer in order to correct the temperature. This is done by simply turning the adjuster until the correct reading is reached. Digital thermometers do not require any adjustment of a screw or nut. You simply need to locate the reset button. When the freezing point or boiling point of water is achieved, simply push the button and that’s it. Some digital thermometers may require you to push hold the reset button.

NOTE: Some incubators, even expensive ones may have "hot spots" or "cool spots" depending on air circulation inside the incubator.​
