day 3 of incubation

I can't seem to get the temp to regulate higher than about 100-101. Is that going to be good?? first timer

Do you have a fan or no fan in the incubator? Too high and it will cook the eggs.

no fan... so do I need to drop the temp down?

No. For still air it should be 102F. Did you calibrate your thermometer to make sure your temp is reading true?

Read through this. It helped me a lot when I first incubated.

Thank you! I went out an bought a digital thermometer with both temp and humidity so I could be more accurate. It is regulating at 102 consistently now.
