They stay at 99-100 Fahrenheit or 37.5 Celsius, and for the first 18 days you keep the humidity at about 50% and then from day 18 on, u put it up to 70% and of course you have to turn them at least 3 times a day

ok the temperature is fine. But U have to make sure there is always water in the incubator, but only enought to keep it at about 50%, so if u notice it going down make sure to top it up with water, and then on day 18 add more water, to bring it upto about 70%

It depend how many times you turn them, I usually turn them 3 times a day (always have to be odd) and I run it first thing in the morning about 7am then about 3pm and then around 10pm again
