Holes In Bator Please Help

[circlecfarms]

there are a few holes in the top of the bator.... do i need to plug them up or just let them stay open for incubation?

I would assume that depends on the temperature and humidity.

Be sure to test the bator before putting good eggs in there.

I don't know about comercial incubators as mine is home made - but - you probably want the holes open for incubation and some of them closed for lock down. Too much air flow will make it very hard to keep the humidity where it needs to be.
