Please help someone this is my very first time hatching! I bought 12 brand new incubators but when I put a thermometer and hydrometer in ALL of them them temp were very off. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO HOW CAN THIS BE WITH EVERY NEW ONE? I get my 12 Bantoms on Thursday and I can’t sleep or eat or FUNCTION! Do I trust the incubators? I’m begging for anyone to please chime in u don’t want all dead babies. PleaseHello!
So I just completed hatching some silkie eggs in a Hovabator 1588 with forced air, and all my chicks hatched out on days 22-24. I considered this hatch to be really late. The entire time my therometer read 99.5-100F, something must be wrong, because this is the ideal incubation temperature for my incubator, and all of my chicks hatched late. So now I am starting a new batch of silkie eggs, and this time I placed the eggs in an automatic turner, which seems to create a different dynamic with air flow and temp, as the temp on the same incubator / thermometer reads 100-101F, (mostly 100.5 F) is this temp still safe for a forced air incubator? I am thinking the thermometer might be slightly off. Should I be worried, or wait and candle the eggs in a few days?
Thanks for your help!!
Hi all my meters have been off on 11 incubaters (im very new and went a little ocd. I’m getting eggs in two days and I get so much conflicting infoI have had similar problems with my incubators .I have three little giants ,none were accurate, one was 3 degrees off the way i do it now is I went to Attwoods and bought two of there incubator thermometers $5.00 each I went through all 30 of the ones they had on the shelf I found 2 that were exactly 100% identical .Some were as much as 2 degrees off from the others I could not find any others that matched the 2 I bought exactly. I then put both in my incubator for 24 hrs .One of the incubators digital readout matched perfectly to the ones I bought , 99.5 degrees the others I had to adjust the digital to match I just ordered a digital thermometer-hydrometer with probe from incubator warehouse just for peace of mind the $20 model .Temperature is too important to be complacent about it, I hope this helps have a nice day and God Bless America.
