    setting eggs in bator

    Put the heat to the incubator about 2hrs ago, trying to get the temperature to 99 degrees and cook supper. When I looked at the thermometer a few minutes ago temperature was at 104. In my opinion it should not make a difference, but what do y'all thin, start feeding the eggs to the pigs?
