Ok I went in to check, my temp is 97? I guess because I added so much water this morning.....I hope it wasnt low all day?!?

Hey I wanted to say, I set my humidity at 70ish because I thought the air cells were large on day 7. Like on day 7 looked like day 14 should....

When you add water, add it warm and as close to 99-100 degrees as you can get.

Also, I cant check often so I figured if it dropped while I was away, but it was high, I would be okm but if it dropped and was low, id lose them...?

Also, I have never dropped temperatures at any time through incubation. I run 3 cabinets that are set electronically to 99.5 and verified with traceable thermometers. The cabinets are only for days 0-18 and typically no added humidity. I run 5 smaller hatchers at 99.5 and 65% humidity for lockdowns. I also run 3 Genesis 1588's for overflow hatching at 99.5 and 65% humidity. I never change this up unless there is an emergency, like I had in one of the cabinets this week. I can also say I run well over 90% hatch rate and consistently over 95%.

I urge you guys that have wafer style or water heater thermostats to NOT mess with temperature through the incubation period. I can not stress this enough especially newbies.
