We were given an incubator as a gift since we couldn’t afford to buy one ourselves. It’s not a high-quality incubator, and it appears that we have had problems with keeping temperature and humidity steady. The external temperature read out is Celsius and does not seem to match the thermometer...
Hi guys, so I don’t really know what I’m hoping to achieve with this post, other than (at the very least) to utilise my current situation as an informative experiment for others to refer to, should they find themselves in a similar situation to me right now.

Hi! I have Hova Bator 1602N set at 99 degrees which keeps increasing to 100 degrees. Looking online, it seems to be a common problem with that model but I'm not sure how to fix this problem. Will that much of a temperature difference cause a problem? If it will, how should I fix this?
I just got Bobwhite eggs to hatch with my first graders. We have hatched ducks and chicken in the past. Anyway, my incubator is only going up to 98.4°. Bobwhite eggs need 99.5 from everything I read. Is it okay to incubate at this somewhat lower temperature, or should I invest in a new incubator?
