First time Candling...

Yeah, I don't trust any of my thermometers, I have 5 in there... then I average them to keep it as close to 99.5˚ as possible.

Just out of curiosity, is your incubator a still-air or a forced air?

I pulled out the more recent quitter and opened it. It was interesting. The other one is so early there won't be anything to see and I'll toss it without opening it.

It's a Little Giant still air incubator with an auto egg turner.

Quote: For a still air most people recommend that the temperature at the top of the eggs be 102F because at that temperature it is at least 99.5 at the bottom of the eggs.
If the temp is 99.5 at the top (in a still-air) then it is probably 2 degrees colder at the bottom of the eggs.
Hope this is helpful to you.

Yes! That is VERY helpful. Thanks!
