I'm on day 4 of incubating polish bantam eggs. MY temp in my hovabator was running at 100.4 for the first 2 days, which the rep at GCF told me is a good temp. He says it means the temp in the egg is around 1 degree cooler than that, which is good. The third day it was 100.6, and I noticed yesterday it increased to 100.8 and is still at that temp today. My humidity is good between 45 and 50. I hate to mess with the thermostat, but should I try to lower it? I have 2 thermometers that are giving me the same reading. Oh, and I have and egg turner in the bator.
 
I would leave it and see how it goes at the end of the hatch. Mine runs about that now and they hatch on days 20 & 21.
