Cleaned everything and set back up. Checked the hygrometer while it was out and my humidity in the room was 56% lol. We will see what the bator settles at. I did put it on the floor.. when I was cleaning it I noticed there were holes in the bottom so maybe that was making a difference not having...

I've always wondered about the logic with the turners being "vertical" since naturally they incubate on their side. What do you do with your air vents on your LG? I have both mine open because it got very wet and stagnant without.

Your temp observations are exactly what I'm getting, including the early hatches. The last sentence is also exactly what is happening to me. Going to dry run and see what happens.

I'm going to try running dry and see what happens. I agree I think it's too humid. I have not been rotating egg positions in the turner, with the malpositioning issues I've been having I've been trying not to mess with them anymore than necessary. I have experimented with grouping them together...

Yes, it runs out of water. I can only put the smallest splash in (troughs) to keep it at 50%, any more and we run closer to 65-70%. I think that is one of the issues with temp fluctuation as well because I've noticed a correlation between temp and humidity. Do you run with open vents or closed...

I have a digital hygrometer/thermometer. I've been aiming for 50% but it's not continuous since it goes down overnight between waterings, when they start to hatch it shoots up to around 80% yet I still have issues with chicks "gluing" themselves to the shell and sometimes even the grate/floor...

Decided to hatch some chicks after many years. Mine are free range so there is some natural loss and I'm not set up to brood large quantities, and my local stores only sell them once a year. Didn't want huge investment so I bought a little giant.. I read the new model with the digital...
