Eggs are geting very Hot In Incubator [Help]

[WVduckchick]

i think its that day i am confusted what day it is all i see on one of them it is a eye we put them in the incubator at the 10th of semptemer

Today is day 12. How many eggs, breed, and whereabouts are you located?

Take the lid off, and dry it out, pour the water out of the bottom too. The condensation will drown them.

Is your area naturally humid or dry? If humid, i wouldn't put any water at all in the incubator until day 18 (assuming chicken eggs). If it's very dry climate, you may add a small wet sponge. But as wet as it looks now, you will likely need to run dry the rest of the time, to get the eggs to lose enough moisture.

the humidy is appintly 76% here and its raining

i dont have one in there the incubator is small

they look pointy end up too??
they should be pointy end down, how can you turn them?
you may be able to find a small thermo like this that would fit on top of the eggs

and those can be calibrated in a baggy in ice water

I am going to take a guess here,
is the incubator one of those plastic ones that gets it's hear from a light bulb ?
advice: after this incubation is over, get rid of that device and find a real incubator.
+
never use two thermometers .
choose one and go with it.
keep searching for a thermometer that is correct and your eggs hatch with it and stick with that one.

learn how to calibrate a thermometer.

I have very good luck with a dial type thermometer with a nut on the base of the probe. this kind can be adjusted by turning the nut
