Make sure you figure out at what temp water boils at your elevation.

Can I sit the whole thermometer in my incubator or will that screw it up? I don't have a good vent hole that goes all the way through for it to work in.

This is the batch I just set. Hopefully all of them 😂

I once set 30 eggs (that was some Jenga juggling), and if I remember I ended up with 24 hatching, I had to hand-turn a couple extra eggs the whole time. It was annoying but worth it.

wasn't that the hatch that after it you said since fertility was so good you weren't going to stack again? :lau
:lol:

I am still shocked at how many you had then. The closest I have come to a full incubator was the 21 that I hatched.

I think around the 11th I will be setting 24. It was almost 30 but plans need to be changed so the 18 or so eggs are going to have to wait since I need to hatch some chicks for the one that gave me the CCL/icecream bar eggs. so those will go in the incubator along with the BBS Ameraucana eggs and F1 Olive eggers eggs. :) I am determined to addmore colored eggs this year (I hope since I tried last year and my OE lays brown, my projects that could have laid green as well also lay brown/tan and my CCL I think internally lays so doesn't give me eggs....... my EE does lay beautiful teal eggs.... Hopefully this years batch will work out better! LOL)
 
Ok y'all I've got a question... first incubation (started with 11 eggs, finished with 3) I did with the plug in, 50% humidity then bumped it to 70% for lockdown. Second incubation (started with 22 eggs, finished with 12) I left B plug out, 45-48% humidity then bumped to 65%. I had zero issues regulating humidity either time. This time I have 27 eggs and literally have almost no water in there and it is 48-51% humidity. I know that's "ok" but why is it being so difficult this go round? More eggs so more moisture being expelled?

Yes, you answered your own question. It's likely from more eggs being inside the incubator. A cracked eggs or porous eggs can also cause this.
As the incubation goes on, even if every single egg is viable, the humidity will start to level out after 3-5 days ish. At least that is what I have found to be the case when I've had eggs that loose more weight initially.
