In Lockdown * Question about temp & hatched chicks left in bator

[PaMiniFarmer]

I have a LG still air incubator. As you know it is very touchy and I can only get the temp to 98 or 102, no in between.

Which is better? I think 102 will be too high for the chicks that hatch since they can't escape the heat. This is my first hatch and I don't want to mess it up, any advise is appreciated. Thanks!

Yikes, I don't know, maybe a more experienced hatcher can help you out!!

Hi I just hatched 29 out of 31 eggs in a LG. I had the same problem so I left it at 98 and watched the humidity closely. keep the humidity in the low 60's and you should do fine.

Thanks for the advice! I have it down to 98 and my humidity is at 60. Just waiting for a pip!
