I actually lowered the temp in the bator to 99f about 35 minutes ago and i just measured the inside temperature using 2 of my digital human thermo set beside the eggs and the reading puts it at 39.9. Should i maintain this or return it to the original setting of 100f since i was told that...
My experience with the new genesis hova bator which i bought in march 2014 is the exact opposite. The first hatch was almost 60%(6 of 11). On my second set i am having nightmares becausethe bator's temp says99.5 to 100.2 but the inside temp based on 4 thermometer that i had to buy and which i...
My hova bator lcd display has the temperature between 99.5 f to 99.7 but i used 2 new surgitech digital thermo, putting itin the opening vent and the temp that registers 4 times on both digital thermo is 38.2c which converts to 100.7 or 100.8f. Is this temperature safe?
Thanks, i hope they are still ok. This is only my 2nd set with this genesis hovabator. The manufacturer says it won't go beyond 100.5 but i guess the electronics are damaged already.
I was able to hatch 6 out of 11 at lockdown. Not bad!
now, it is the 5th day of my second set and everything was ok till this morning at a constant 99.8f and 45%humidity. This lunch time from work, i came home to see the tempat 101.9f. I am notsure how many hrs it has been running like this...
If it wont affect the other eggs i may have to leave it in the bator. I am just concerned because he is moving all over the bator establishing his balance.
One hatched already, it's very clean. The problem now is it's rolling the other eggs in the bator. I miscalculated it, i should have increased the humidity yesterday which was day 18, i only increased it this morning. Should i open the bator and remove the "early bird"? I dont know know how to...
Today is 18th day for the eggs, it's lockdown day! Just another question though.......i set the eggs at around 10pm on april 12, do i have to wait like around 10pm today before increasing the humidity or i can do it at like noon time?
I will, thanks.
one more thing, is it ok to put tissue paper on the incubator floor before putting the eggs to prevent the waste during the hatching from scattering and affecting the hatchability of the later eggs?
Thanks for the post. I have the same problem with 4 shipped eggs at day 13, i actually had 2 dozens but all but 4 were ruined due to my ignorance with incubators. The air sacs are also saddle-shaped but i am encouraged with the prospect of even 2 eggs hatching normally.
I have eggs in my hova bator that has been under incubation for 12 days now. Now, i want to add more eggs in it. During lock down which is 6 or 7 days from now, i have to increase the humidity. My question is, will the new eggs that i will put now be destroyed when i increase the humidity for...
Thanks for the quick response.
But it ran for a few minutes at 45%, now i just checked it and it is back to 51%. I am sorry i got 53% wrong, it had been 51% for the past 8 or 10 hrs.
