    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...

    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.

    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...

    Ok thanks. My problem is that there are still eggs in the same incubator that will hatch later.

    Day 13 VERY BAD AIR CELLS, Opinions please.

    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?

    Day 13 VERY BAD AIR CELLS, Opinions please.

    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.
