YES I was up at midnight cleaning up after I finished making it. (Cleaning up as in pushing everything to the side of my room to clean up today lol) It took about three hours. So far the temperature is about 110-120 and the humidity is 20. AHHHHHH What should I do?? Poke more holes in the side?? I was trying to avoid that so I could keep the humidity up during lock down.

What wattage bulb are you using? Go down on the watt...I make holes as well but have duck tape handy to tape em back up if needed.

I have a question...So the hubby marked the eggs that went into the incubator w a permanent marker ugg! I just noticed this...what will happen? Will this hurt them or will they be ok? We are 1 day into incubation

It probably won't hurt them as long as the markings aren't huge. Just keep an eye on them and they'll be fine

If it's a non-toxic marker they should be o.k. I use an eye make-up pencil to mark eggs. I'm pretty much guaranteed that's non toxic!

The lamp can't be put any higher up, and I have been measuring from the farthest away from the heat. Urg. The floor can't be lowered.

Yeah you could try lowering the wattage of the light bulb? That really helps. Is the light inside or outside the bator? I found that when it's inside a simple 25 watt works pretty well, and a 60 watt works good on the outside

Can you get a thermostat somewhere? That would help regulate the temperature. It doesn't have to be fancy, I had a 2nd hand jacuzzi thermostat in mine.

Does this chickie live? I started to video ours but then when I noticed it was going wrong I shut off the camera...and deleted the video. I deleted ever picture with that egg in it. I just felt so much guilt I am trying to block it from my mind.

Yes she did! And she was the only one so that is why I am going to try and hatch some buddies for her
