I have been trying to hatch various eggs in an old LG still air incubator. (the automatic turner is missing now so I hand turn, the eggs are just laying on the wire tray at the bottom) We had trouble with the temperature not being even, and bad temperature spikes, so my husband the handyman rigged up a computer fan that sits inside it. There was really nowhere good to mount it on the inside of the lid, which was the original plan, so it just sits on the tray in a corner, with a cushion of paper towels under it. The temperature holds steady very nicely now, but we are still having 0% hatches. It occurred to my husband tonight, after throwing out a bunch of nasty rotten turkey eggs, that maybe the fan is a problem. It vibrates a tiny little bit, and he worries that even though it is hardly even a noticeable vibration, that over 3 or 4 weeks of incubation, it could slowly scramble the eggs. Is this a real concern?
