What is the best way to set the incubator for the first time? It's a Genesis 1588, I will be hatching 38 chicken eggs of different kinds, some people said to run it alone for a while, and other people said to run it with water until temperature and humidity are set. What would be the optimum temperature and humidity? I live in Albuquerque and the elevation is about 5,000 ft, someone told me this is relevant, but I am not sure. Any advise in my first hatch would be greatly appreciated...
