Hey everyone!
I was wondering if someone could advise me.
I am incubating with a still air little giant. This is my second time, first time was not that great but did manage to get 2 out of 6 chicks born. I think my heat was to low the first time 99.5. This time i am trying to bump temp to 101.5 for this still air method.
So at the top of egg it reads 101.5 but i also put a therm. on egg turner at it reads 98. i understand that the top of the egg is warmer than the bottom.
So i think i am correct with to low of temp. first time ( had only one hterm. last time).
I think that on the 18th day the temp must have been really low last time when i took eggs out of turner and on to incubator floor.
Is this a normal temp. drop range from top of egg to bottom?
Any suggestions ?
thanks Julie
