I am trying to get my incubator ready to put the eggs in but it won't stay at 100 degrees!
So the temp in my house is a very consistent 75-79 degrees. I bought a cheap still air incubator one of those styrofoam ones. So I read the directions about 10 times and I very carefully turned the dial to get the temp at 100 degrees. Once it was set I turned the knob a teeny bit JUST until the light went off. I then watched the incubator stay between 98-103 degrees (I know that fluctuation isn't ideal) and when I got up to check on it this morning the air temp was 75 (was 77 last night) and the incubator was 79???? I turned the knob as far right as I could but the light won't go on and it absolutely won't heat up. What am I supposed to do? I've never hatched eggs but this is extremely frustrating
