Hova Bator with egg turner

[ccrane11]

Getting ready to set eggs in my still air styrofoam Hova Bator. I will be using an egg turner. I know that the egg turner motor can produce heat so what tempurature should the incubator be adjusted to for a good hatch?

102 degrees, as measured by several reliable thermometers sitting on top of the eggs.

I would run the turner w/out the eggs for at least a few hours and get the temps stable with it first... 101-102 is the range for still air...
After you set the eggs, temp will drop for a while, do not adjust and walk away for a few hours... then check temp again... good luck on your hatch!
