Bator Problems

[Keshiaandadam]

I am having problems my Incubator only hold a temp of about 85 degrees they wont hatch with they?

85 degrees is to low. What type of incubator?

 

[SkeeredChicken]

If the temp is adjustable (has an ether wafer thermostat)m adjust it up, slowly. Like 1 tiny movement per hour. You can find Hova-Bator manuals on www.gqfmfg.com.

its like a Styrofoam one will 2 windows in it on the top and a fan and its now turned up as far as it will go and it will only go to 91 degrees no higher

The thermostat wafer is shot then. That is the round copper disc inside the incubator. You can get them at any farm supply or off ebay for about $10.00.

The incubator you describe is a hovabator or little giant. Both use the same wafer.
