Hen quit setting at day 16

Turn up the thermonstat just a little-wait an hour and then check the temperature. The thermometer being what it is I think going for a somewhat lower temperature might be good idea-100 degrees.
Repeat as necessary. When you put the eggs in, it may take a longer period for the temperature to go back to 100-DO NOT TURN THE THERMOSTAT UP. Humidity should be around 50%. I will be online in a few hours. Good luck.

I'm not sure which thermostat to trust...

Go with the reading on the left as it appears to be part of the incubator. If you have not done so, put the eggs in the incubator

I am working with an old computer-how frustrating. I have posted repeatedly to no avail. I am not familiar with this brand of incubator, but from what I see, the humidity is way too low. I see 35% and it should be closer to 50%. If you haven't add warm water to the incubator.

Ok, they're in. I'm gonna go by the bator's thermostat and its at 50% humidity. They are on the egg turner. I'll keep watch but now there's nothing else I can do. I'll take the turner out at day 18 before lockdown.What's the correct temp and humidity level for lockdown? I was thinking the humidity needed to be higher...

Temp stays the same-increase humidity to 65% at lockdown.I was thinking the humidity needed to be higher...
