Ran awesome with 4 fans. Fan speed may also matter. I didn't even add and water from humidity system and it stayed at 43% during my hatches. I live in the city and have decided to sell this great incubator. Cant keep doing 160 chicks in town. Way overkill.

Here is one i built. Posted s bunch of prior photos if you want to see fan and heater set up.

If its splated leg i used medical tape that i tore so that it was only like 3/8 tall. And i guessed a what correct leg width should be and put the tape fairly low near the feet. Band aid seemed good for an hour and wouldnt stay stuck up against the leg, which is a must. It took a couple days but...
