edit: ta add,,, im glad my bator will be empty tomorrow,,,hahahaha,, you guys gonna make me check mine lol
,, i just noticed the "2" ,, i thought i saw an "A" degree,,hmmm 2 is alot
I've never noticed the temp difference, but my hatches have been good, so it must not be a problem.
And I was worried at first about hatching and turning at the same time, but I just up my humidity to 65% when I have chicks hatching, then drop it back to 55-60% after the hatch. It seems to work just fine.

Actually ... you can get away with a lower temp in the hatcher. Some exotic bird breeders even recommend it. About 1F lower would be the aim.
The reason is that the chicks themselves are giving off quite a lot of heat by this stage, and lowering the temp very slightly reduces the risk of them over-heating.
I'm not necessarily recommending this, but some well respected breeders do
Ok I just did a test ... Over the past few hrs I moved one thermometer from top to 1st tray to 2nd to 3rd and then to the bottom and there is a deff. temp difference.What should I do here.
