Ok, I am on my first hatch... experimenting with 9 eggs of my own first.

I have gotten mixed directions on the vent plugs on the Hova-bator... should they or should they not be opened (two red plugs on the top)...

or is it a total preference issue??? I do realize there are holes in the bottom but did not know if I really should open both of the top vents...

Currently I have one open and one closed... opening both caused my temperatures to fluctuate more variedly than just having one open...

Also, should they be opened during the lock down period and hatch or should I plug them???

Thanks for any info.

The hova bator is one of the worst incubators I have ever used. It could just be mine but my eggs always hatch two and three day after they are supposed to. It also decreases hatch rete compared to other incubators.
