Do I change the temp. when I move eggs out of turner???

[ebear82]

I just took the eggs out of the turner for their final few days before hatching (although some have about a week left) and I'm wondering if I need to adjust the temp now that they're lower in the incubator?? It's reading at a lower temp. on top of the eggs than it was before. (about 2 degrees less). What do you think?

let the temp come back up to where it shuts off and see where you are at...it should not have to be adjusted but there is always a chance...I have only once had to up it a little bit after taking the turners out but that was for a batch of bantam eggs...i have never had an issue with the larger eggs.

I have a LG forced air and do have to adjust the temp slightly when I remove the turner (my turner motor creates heat).

Ok, I'll keep an eye on the temp. for a while. I hate adjusting it because it can go up so quickly even if I just move it a tiny bit. Maybe I won't need to. Thanks for the help!
