Hello, and welcome! Your flock is growing. Good luck with your hatch!

Thank you everyone! Just started the bator up! Here goes nothing!

I have a farm innovators too. Mines a little different, it's has a knob to adjust the temperature. I've been told they can be finicky, but mine has been pretty trusty.

I don't trust the thermometer or Hygrometer that it has in it. I have two calibrated thermometers and a calibrated reptile Hygrometer/thermometer. What I've learned is that every thing needs to be calibrated. A quick Google search will result in how to do so.

My in-incubator thermometer is off by 5 degrees and the Hygrometer is off by a bit too. My last hatch rate was something like 86%, better than the lady I got the eggs from does.

Hope you have a great hatch!

Thank you for the tips! My husband will probably make it a fun project for himself to calibrate everything and get a good set up for it for my next hatch.

Day 7 on incubation time. I checked all the eggs and of the 25 I can confidently say that 20 are developing!!! Let's see where we're at on day 14! I'm so excited for this.
