What day are you on? I bet it is because your babies are generating more heat themselves..do you have a room that remains cooler than the one they are located in now? I have moved my incubator into a room using a window AC to lower the temps. I think it is a good sign. You probably have a lot...

Do you move one set of eggs to another incubator when it is time for lockdown?

How many incubators do you have going Jake?

I drew question marks on eggs that I couldn't see movement tonight (when candling) One of those with the question mark just moved in the incubator!

oh! That's terrible!!! I'm so sorry...better luck with the next batch

Yes, I'm not in the privileged incubating crowd lol work work work! Tis okay, I have learned a lot! I'm planning on building a cabinet style incubator in the not too distant future...I'll have a better set up then. Anyway, I candled all 15 tonight (lockdown tomorrow) saw definite movement in...

Oh I used hot water, on a pad.

I am using a homemade styrofoam cooler incubator, no fan. I have several thermometers, but none seem to be accurate. I am relying on the humidity/thermometer that hangs on the wall, up towards the top of the incubator. I aim for 101-102 on that thermometer. My others are fish tank thermometers...

Thanks Amy...I am just really curious what caused such a terrible spike on day 16. I haven't had any spikes like that, and the only difference was the intentional increase in humidity. I had been at 35-40% until day 15 and I have been bringing it up since...45, 50, 55, 60...and then late...

Thanks! My first hatch a few weeks ago was fantastic, 23 little babies. I was so happy. This attempt was going smooth, no problems at all, until this very bad spike on day 16. I increased the humidity, and the temp shot way up...is there a connection??? Sadly I wasn't checking the incubator as...

So does increasing the humidity cause the babies to generate more heat?

hmm oh well too late now. I got the idea from a few posts on here. I used duct tape on a previous hatch and that didn't work. I have since read that duct tape is acidic. I wonder if it would have made it anyway without any help... I just had a horrible temperature spike anyway.....oh I hope...

I am trying nail polish on my cracked egg.

Use a hair dryer.
