Hi all,
I am about to venture into my first time incubating. Bought a Little Giant, with fan and turner (yes, I know, but the price was great!), and I've had it running for a day now, and it was holding pretty steady at 99.5. Last night we had a huge storm here in MO., and the outside temps cooled way off. This morning the incubator had dropped to 98. My questions are; when it comes to a forgiving range of temps, what would your safest temps be at both ends of the scale? How forgiving are the eggs to a drop or rise of one degree or better? Is it better to stay on the lower side, rather than frying them with higher temps? I can see right now I will be building a better incubator for myself in the near future! Thanks in advance.
