I've been running an Eco II empty before transferring some eggs into it. I am having some troubles with temperature and humidity. The manual says that temperature is factory set at he optimum (37 or 37.5 can't remember). But it won't go over 35.4. Humidity was just around 30 with one water well full and a little water in the other.
Have not been able to play with the temperature control yet as I couldn't find a mini screwdriver (picked some up before work this morning) so can adjust it tonight.
I think the room may be an issue, house doesn't have the best of heating, so I put it in a cardboard box and got the readings above from that.
Just wondering if anyone had any advice? Should I just crank up the temperature of the incubator or would a styrofoam box help? Would that help humidity too?
Have some eggs I am desperate to get some chicks out hence, upgrading from a cheaper incubator.
