your humidity should be ok by morning, too. Plus when the eggs go in, it'll all go wonky, like I said, but it'll go back to normal, probably by the time you get home from school - if you have school tomorrow, you may get lucky with this weather and get to stay home and stare at your incubator

I know Sam is hoping school will be cancelled tomorrow.


eta - Try to get the temp and humidity right with both plugs in.

haha
it isnt sticking to the road here, so i am sure we will be going. haha.

will this 'wonky' period effect the hatching rate? or is it normal with all incubations?​

I'd leave it there, then - 100 is perfectly acceptable

It's normal with all incubators - the first day they all go wonky when ya put the eggs in (less so with fans installed)

it was sticking here, when I went into town to pick Jon up at work. they had salt trucks out, but we live up on the ridge, so if it's slick anywhere around here, they cancel - I moved down here from Michigan

we never had so many snow days up there.

Usually after the light goes out, the temp will rise another 1 degree, if it goes higher, then tweak it down slightly the next time it comes on again.

sounds like you're narrowing it down pretty well.
Just make sure ya don't turn it too far,

then you'll have to tweak it back up again.

 

[dave_Cash69]
