What type of incubator? If it is a still air incubator (no fan), I would let it get regulated for several days. I fried some eggs on my first hatch because I thought I had it all set and temp was holding great, then... overnight it went to 110 degrees and ruined everything.
Good luck with your hatch. I'm sending you hatching vibes!

glad to see you got a bator, but i would give the new bator at least 2 days of running to make sure you have the bugs worked out, and would place a 16 oz bottle of water in there to act like a bator of eggs to get the temp and humidty correct, before i placed any eggs in there. good luck william and if you have any ?'s just pm me and i will try to answer them for i keep 10 LG's going all the time
