First time incubating temp issue

[Chelseyb123]

So i set up my stuff for my homemade incubator. this is day four. Im only trying out four eggs .two are white and two are brown. My humidity and temp keep going back and forth temp-97°-103° f mostly constant at 99° f and the humidity keeps going to 54-60% Right now the temp is at 99° and humidity 59%. Luckily im a stay at hand mom and can monitor them closely. All last night into this morning though the temp stayed at 99° and 60%. today I did candle them to see if I can see someting forming . And i did see air pockets in all and only one white egg showed growth. And I now all these eggs are fertile. Im am planning on waiting until day seven to candle again and see if anything is developing and go from there. But what should I do? I've watched a ton of different videos and post of different incubators.ive tried adding holes and covering them up when temp changes. Tips,treats best homemade incubators you such?

What are you using to control the temp? And do you have a thermometer in there that’s calibrated?

Im using a 38w bulb an i just bought a acurite thermometer/humidity from Walmart. And as of now from when I posted the humidity is at 58% and temp still at 99°. Im also using a wooden box with a hinged top

But what do you use to control the temperature? How do you adjust it?

I don’t see any ventilation? You are going to want air to be able to flow. Also is there a fan in the box?

I can place a van in there and I do have ventilation there is a gap on each end from the cover

That’s not a good way to control temp. You’ll end up cooking those eggs if temp spikes.
