36.5 degrees C (97.7F) too low?

I agree with Gypsy..

maybe the reason the breeder is having success is because her reading is 36.5C but in actuality the temp is closer to 37,5..
she has found a temp setting that works for her with her thermometer.. Your thermometer might be calibrated a little differently.. I would go with the recomended reading if I were you..

I cannot seem to lift the temperature of my incubater any higher than this - not sure what the problem is, as previously it has been at the correct temperature. Will this be a problem? I understand it may cause a delay in hatching, but wondered if anyone else incubated at a lower temperature?

Hi my incubator was set to 36 degrees I have never hatched chicks before I put 4 eggs in and I was amazed when I saw I had 3 baby chicks the were a couple of days early was not due to hatch until 21st July 2023 and they hatched on the 18th all 3 chicks are doing great
