Temps are a bit hot. I have one hen that runs hot and hatches them early. The incubator I had to dial in by .1° over several hatches.

Silkies are normally a day or 2 early anyway.

Hysteresis on these Little Giant incubators is 1 degree.
According to my Raytec handheld, one is three degrees warmer than indicated and the other three degrees cooler.

I have a tin/bismuth thermocouple buried somewhere; I'll retest both of them later.

Every time you open the lid, there's more ducks!
