How long to test incubator?

[MissMonty]

I just got a Nuture Right 360 incubator in the mail yesterday evening. I set it up last night to get it tested and I have a separate temp/humidity gauge in it to check for accuracy.

So far it was auto set to 99.5F and 52% humidity. So far so good. The separate guage is sitting on the outside ring and reading 52% humidity exactly and 99F so its about half a degree off and its been running about 12 hours so far.

So my question is how long to keep testing to ensure its working properly before throwing some eggs in there?

Personally I'd get it running and track it for 5-15 days... depending on how paranoid you are.

Once you're confident with it, go ahead and toss the eggs in.

I'll probably leave it doing its thing a few more days and see how things go. As long as all goes well I'm thinking Christmas morning I may put some eggs in!
