I have been incubating eggs and hatching chicks in my real 49 incubator ( great incubator btw ) for the past year and i've always set the temperature at 37.7 C, even tho it was advised that at the last 3 days of incubation it should be lowered to 37.2 C ( i don't do that because i found no results ) so i keep it at 37.7 C.
Today i baught a different incubator and the instruction manual said that the perfect temperature is 37.6 C ( keeping in mind this incubator is made in China and is known for bad quality but i need it and have no other option so i got it ). It also said that if the chicks start hatching too early ( like day 19 ), the you need to lower you temperature perhaps a degree so it would become at 37.5 C and if they hatch at a late time ( like day 22 ) then it should be risen to 37.7 C. Was i doing it right already or are these instructions better? what is your personal and professional opinion? ( i just want a better percentage of hatch ) so what ever you find best please tell me. ( btw i've never gotten better than a 65% hatch rate using the constant 37.7 C Method ). Thank you
