Hi don't mean to butt in but would just like to share my experience of a cheap china incubator. It was very cheap and thermostat button looked very odd bit of a sticker to tell you what temp you are on. I did try some eggs in this set at temp 37.5 c and filled base with water as per instructed. This was my first ever hatch so was a newbie. As a result nothing hatched, nothing developed. So onto the next, this time bought new lizard/reptile hygrometer and small round green house thermometer. When it had been up and running the incubator was running at nearly 45c I had cooked my first eggs. As to the humidity it was far too high only needed very small amount of water in base. I would never believe cheap china incubator. After that all hatches were between 50 and 80%. Once I got the bug for hatching I got a Brinsea octagon advance ex with humidity pump and have not looked back hatches now at 80-100%. Plus it takes all the panic out of temps and humidity as it does it all for you digitally. Thanks for reading my ramblings.I have the same problem. I bought a little hygrometer to have inside with the eggs, and was dismayed to see the temp it at 34 degrees Celcius. The humidity is 50%. Should I believe my incubator. I selected 0 fluctuation so it seems steady at 37.8 C or maybe not???
Good luck on hatch day
Hi I'm sure they are fine you said in previous post that you were on day 18 it must be ok for your eggs to look healthy and happy.
had to laugh my first Wyandotte to hatch was asleep with his little head on that stupid thermometer!!!

I got the 12 egg incubator and I have 8 duck eggs inside (duct tape really helped on this one). So far so good for me. I'm on day 18 and all eggs are healthy and happy
