I got my incubator out and have had it running for a day to get the humidity adjusted and let the temp get up and running for a few days before I set eggs and I noticed this year that the temp in the bator isnt going up to the 100.3 degrees it ran on all the time last year.
I cleaned it and did not touch any of the toggle switches. I just checked it and its running anywhere around 98 to 99 degrees according to my two thermometers in it.
I have a Brinsea spot check and a water wiggler in there and it says around 99.3 I think. I have to get some fish tube line to run thru the top so I can put in the water in the correct trough. That was the problem I had last year was keeping the humidity consistant. I think because of the fan, it dried up the water quicker. I also got myself for my birthday an automatic egg turner.
The CO-OP in town just happened to carry Hovabators and they had an egg turner for them too!!
So should I just give it another day or so on the temps and see if they remain consistant around that or adjust a toggle?
I plan on setting eggs next Sunday. I wanted to wait until it got warmer here because when the chickies hatch, they have to go to the barn in a couple days<way to dusty in the bedroom with them in there>.
Thanks, y'all!!
