Epiphany.

You know, I got my digital therm/hygro last hatch, but because my mercury thermometer was the one I could "zero out", I chose to trust it instead of the digital. (Control freak).

So this whole time the digital has read 97-99*, while the thermometer that came with the bator said 102 on top of the eggs.

But now I'm thinking, I always hear nothing but complaints from y'all about your bator thermometers..

I'm also thinking, baking eggs at 97* for three weeks could likely cause lots of deaths. And I wonder if it's even cool to leave the EE egg in there just because there's still movement? If it even hatches, will it have major issues?

Yeah, bump it up a degree or two!

Better yet, go to Walmart and get one of those cheap 97-cent thermometers over by the fans and air conditioners. Use that to measure temp, and compare it to a digital!
 
So do you think this one stands a chance? It's SMALL.. Less than half the egg filled. They were due to hatch tomorrow (yes, I know but I had a stinker and HAD to get into the bator)..

Robo makes fun of people's typos. A lot. And lost of people here use phones and tablets to post, so auto-correct changes a lot of things around to something completely different.

Most likely what you read was Carcar's phone/tablet changing the word "back" porch to "neck" porch. So no, it wouldn't have made sense. Robo pointed it out, and carcar80 made a sarcastic joke out of it to turn the tables on him. "Yeah, you know, the neck porch, you never heard of that???" <--- that sorta thing.

So really, what you're reading and not making sense of, no one is making sense of it! They're just playing with their own words and mistakes, that's all.

And yeah we're all over 18, so far.

Honestly? If it's due tomorrow and only fills half the egg... then no. BUT you never know! Just keep an eye on it. But definitely bump the incubator up a degree or two!

FREE COOP MATERIALS! Pre-painted, though. I prefer the natural look, but then all of my pens and coops are redneck-i-fied anyway. My current "shelter" in the chick pen is actually the hood of a semi-truck!

But you can't pass up free plywood and 2x4's! If you don't mind the trip and have a car big enough to pick it up with, at least!
