What is the room temp?
Are you "setting" it correctly?
It says it's set on 100.2 but the other thermometer says it's set at 94 and the room temp is 72
I have a little giant model 9300 can anyone please tell me how I can get the temperature to go up because it want go up at all it stays around 93 degrees
Is the heater in constant *on* mode ? I know that if I have the built in probe right under the heater that it is going to be much cooler in spots around the front side of the bator. I usually put the probe toward the front end and then put my two other thermos on the sides...
This way I can keep the heat running without it shutting off and saying * chick okay* on me- when it is too cool in there.
I have also added rocks at the bottom - which seemed to have helped keep the warm air.
I only have 12 eggs in my bator right now. So I keep them directly underneath the heater. I have noticed that if I set it to 106.3 that I will have a pretty stable temp around 101.8. It does fluctuate a bit but not by much. I actually had a temp spike yesterday where the therm read 111.9! I freaked out and had to cool my babies off. I checked them and all are atill moving well so hopefully they will all hatch on time this coming Monday.
Good luck!!!Barnyard mix: EE roo over: SLW, Dominique = BSL, walnut comb green egg layers. EE roo over: Pioneer, BSL pea comb green egg layer, home bred BSL, EE, RIR, Rose comb brown leghorns. So, all of the chicks will be either pea or walnut comb, pullets will be either green or blue egg layers. I'm doing a bit of an experiment, if you're interested in following along: The title of the thread is: Nutrition and gender, and inducing broodiness.
I have the 9200 and it has the fan kit and I have the same thing. Around the perimeter under the heating element it gets 1-2 degrees warmer than the center. I leave the center bare during the incubation and use it for my sponge. And adjust my temp for the outside. And I rotate my eggs around the outsides as much as I can to insure they are not in the same spots for the duration.i have the 9300 i just put the fan kit in but I'm still having problems with cold spots under the control box is alot cooler then under the heater does any one have any tricks to get a more even heat over the entire unit i don't have any eggs in right now but am going to set some soon i was just moving my thermometer around in there it is 99.5 under the heater and it was 95.0 under the control box that's a big gap do y'all think when i add eggs it will even out i was thinking about using my spare heater and making 2 heaters in there any one think that will work.....
