Ooo, Sally, how about a pitiful looking male cockerel or rooster contest in your flock. My poor first time roo..well, not yet a roo. When do these things start looking so handsome like yours? Poor dude.

New hatcher here lol set my eggs Sunday and joined the hatch along stream late.... Question thermometer issues! Have 3... #1 offbrand thermo/hygro #2 incutherm thermo/hygro #3 LG thermo that came with my bator. #1 has been off on temp from the start (but humidity reading agreed with incutherm). 2 and 3 have agreed. But now (on day 4/5 2 and 3 are off!!!! ##2 reading 97.7 ##3 @ 99.5.... What thermo do I go with?!?!?!

have learned from the other 867 posts.... Do not panic and do not adjust yet. Advice???? Using a little giant 9200 with a fan.

I HAVE A PIP!!! My first pip EVER! And she's chirping too! OMG how will I sleep?????

Horrible picture I know. My room is so dark. (Bator is on my dresser). Kids will be SO excited to wake up to this in the morning!!! Plus no school tomorrow. It pipped higher than I thought it would. Is that ok?? I know the air cell drew down lower than my last pencil mark... so the air cell looked perfect.
