This is our third incubation this Spring. I took the last 4 unhatched eggs out of the incubator yest. Cleaned it all up and plugged it back in. I had it at a temp. of 101 for about 13 hrs. I filled it with eggs 6 hrs. ago and the temp. has not risen above 99. Do I just need to be patient for it to reach the 101 temp ? I'm sure it would take a while to get 40 eggs that warm. But I don't know how long to give it before I turn the temp up a smidge.
