    It's really too early to tell at day 5. If you keep messing with the temp knob any incubator will fluctuate. You've got to have some faith and patience. My LG had varring temps throughout the incubator but adjusted it to have 100F through the majority then put the eggs in and left the knob...

    Quote: How are your eggs looking now? Your pictures were very good and thought I saw development in a few. Post some more if you would, I can't keep my hands steady enough for good pics. Will say I candled day 11 and thought 4 duds then candled again day 14 and all look good, even the...

    Well I candled again day 13/14. To my surprise an egg I thought was not going to develop from day 11 candling has started to look good. If it was only the penciled ? on it I'd not feel so like a monkey's uncle; had tossed it in garbage and took it out becouse the 10 year old was sad about it...

    Quote: Make a little ice water bath and reassure yourself that your non digital thermometers are reading correctly at 32 F. They will read what ever off that calibration right on through the scale. So if 31F in ice water than will read 99 F at 100.

    Quote: With still airs people swear at 101 F at the top of eggs. The temp varies with hieght in incubator so easy to measure at top of eggs if full and hold 101 F. I set 15 BBS Rocks the 21st. Little nervous that 3 eggs candled at random last night did'nt show any veins. Will try again...
