How's the eggs?

Everyone is still doing good. Nothing pipped yet though. Air cells are good so I keep waiting.

Sounds good.

My incubator has varying temperatures within it.
Very Front: 100°F

Middle: 97.7°F

Back: 94.5°F.

Why is that? That's no good.

I don't know.
The good news is you can incubate eggs at 98.5°F - 97.5°F but not to incubate below 97 degrees.

So the back of my incubator is a no egg zone.

Is that a newer incubator?

Yes, got it last year as a replacement for my other one.
My other incubator would try to cook my unhatched chicks.

Definitely can be frustrating. I prefer a Broody Hen over incubator hatching 100%..

I may have to use a couple broodies, for eggs I won't be able to put into the incubator due to the odd temperature variation.
