Okay so I have yolks that move in the egg, a couple have "spider web" cracks in the shells (one bottom and one lower side)?!?! No bad odors or anything bad... Just don't see "life" 5 days in...

Well you did say you had a 111º spike. I'd say they are toast

I don't have but 4 Chukar eggs right now not really sure that that's worth the drive to pick them up. Call me and let me know if ya want them otherwise they are going in the bator here today

Anybody have any secrets to setting these darn water heater thermostats? Does the distance from the heat source matter? It's fluctuating 94-102?!?!

NO SECRET... ITS EASY REALLY JUST DONT SET THEM... IN FACT DONT USE THEM AT ALL FOR INCUBATING ANYTHING AS THEY ARE NOT INTENDED FOR THIS USE AND THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH THEM. AS MUCH AS IT SUX PONY UP THE MONEY AND BUY A REAL INCUBATOR THERMOSTAT... YOU CAN GET COMPLETE WAFER STYLE GQF FOR AROUND 30 BUCKS(COMPLETE) FROM GQF THEMSELVES OR MAYBE EVEN A TAD CHEAPER FROM EBAY. PERSONALLY WHEN I BUILT ALL MY BATORS I PULLED ALL THE STOPS OUT AND PONIED UP FOR THE MULTI TURN ELECTRONIC MODELS... WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY. FOR WHAT ITS WORTH IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST USE THEM THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BE MOUNTED TO A METAL SURFACE... SO MOUNT IT ON A METAL PLATE THEN INSTALL IT IN YOUR BATOR
