First time incubating temp issue

[Chelseyb123]

Well thats what ive seen and read from other people doing it. Many who are using a foam cooler. But what will happen though by it going back and forth the recommended temps and humidity on its own. It doesn't change drastically just threw out the day it will change two or tree times. But not exceeding 103°

This is what ive seen about controlling the time

40-50% humidity is too high for most locations. The chicks will drown. I run a dry incubation (no water added) and it reads between 25-29%

As for temp you need a thermostat if you don’t want the temp all over the place. It causes bad things to happen when it jumps all over. Since you don’t have a fan, temp needs to be 101.5 not 99. The 99 is for incubators with fans.
