Temp: 99.5
Humidity: 60% first 25 days and 70-80% last three days.
Hatch in 28 days, stop turning on the 25th day

I havent sprayed mine at all and I have gotten good hatches.
 
I have seven Khaki Campbell duck eggs in my incubator right now that are due to hatch in four days. I found that the temp was very up and down with these duck eggs so I put in three different thermometers. One digital, one glass and one of those plastic flat out door ones. I have been spraying them every day now with warm water in the mornings as well and will stop on day 25. This is my first time using an egg turner instead of hand turning my eggs and I am wondering if you are supposed to place a flat thermometer ontop of the eggs instead of off to the side for a more accurate reading like what you do when you do not use an egg turner??


Here in the photo it shows the digital that has a wire with a sensore that hangs over the eggs but does not touch them. This is the thermometer that goes up and down in temp a lot threw out the day. I have to check it every hour or so. The two that are sitting one the egg turner stay next to the eggs and have been reading steady one bar under @ 100F. Is this okay? Am I doing this right?
Thank you,
Andrea on SSI B.C.
