Wow, congrats! That's an awesome hatch I would say! I can't imagine having that many babies all at once, my 30 was enough for me to deal with! Hahaha!

Are those styrofoam egg cartons that they are in? Do you punch holes in the bottom for air circulation? I tried to use cardboard ones and that was a disaster. I read somewhere that you aren't supposed to use styrofoam cartons.

I use cardboard from when I use to breed crickets. I have had 0 issues with it yet. I have had all egg hatch that were due today and some starting for tomorrow.

Oh, and I really like that incubator, what kind is it? I have a huge, old comercial napco incubator that could hold hundreds of eggs just cant figure out how to work it since I have no manule. I am affriad the thermostate waffer is broken. It somewhat works when i put a small fan in it but it is still to touchy when the room gose down even 4 degrees.

one of them is a gqf 1202a the other is a home made that i built but i built it using GQF parts
If you wanted to fix the one you have i would use a 3255 Deluxe Multi-Turn Electronic Thermostat with plug from GQF they work great to replace the waffer a little pricey but worth the money
