    Difference Between the Little Giant and the Hovabator?

    Humidity vs Temperature

    All during the first 18 days of incubation in a Hovabator fan incubator the humidity and temperature was reasonably stable. Now I found after putting eggs on lockdown the temp has dropped quite a bit. It was dead on 99.5 only went up and down by a few tenths of a deg. The humidity was around...
