Has anyone used this https://www.homedepot.com/p/AcuRite-Digital-Humidity-and-Temperature-Comfort-Monit00619HD/202260980source=shoppingads&locale=en-US thermometer. It tells the humidity and temperature. Right now its showing my incubator which is at 102.2 °F as 100 °F and my humidity as 30%...

It kind of looks like a barred rock. I think its a rooster and not a hen because large comb for its age.

permethrin based spray or dust could work for lice/mites.
