I made a homemade incubator. We have a styrofoam container, 20 watt lightbulb, thermometer that does temp and humidity. I have added 6 holes (big enough for my ring finger to fit through) Temp was 104* after I added the last 2 holes it is down to 99* humidity is 44%. Is that okay? I plan on running it for 48hours of regulated temp and hmidy before adding eggs, We are just doing chicken eggs, about 3 or 4 of them. We live on a farm and want to replace our rooster (he's become aggressive) but need a rooster for that and want to add some hens to our flock. The light bub in on the other side of the incubator I would say about 8 inches away, and 5 inches above. No forced ar.
