hatching help please

[Nikkumz]

ok, im at day 21 and day 17 with my batches of eggs, i messed up and have them both in the bator together....Is it better to have my temp low at like 97 or high at 102, cuz i cant get it anywhere in the middle for some reason

If *I* had to pick, I'd pick the lower temps. You don't want to get any where below

97F, trust me. Low temps slow down development, high temps speed it up. I'd rather

have a late hatcher than an early one.

Fan or no fan?

Forced air 99.5
Still Air 102

I agree with ScissorChick, I'd rather have a late hatch rather than speed up their develpment with higher temps. What kind of bator do you have?

Oops, sorry, wrong thread.

Its still air, and homemade, thats why im not sure cuz ive heard 102 is ok with still air, it doesnt go any higher than 102.3
