So as of Yesterday my Shipped incubator finally arrived. In all my years of chicken keeping I have never incubated. Ever. I have only ever used broody hens.The model is a Janoel 12 and I managed to set it up correctly (What a surprise ) It seemed to be working fine until today- I faced my first Incubating problem. It is a forced Air incubator set at 37.5 Celsius but suddenly for no reason it has decided to raise to 40.5! What Is up with my incubator? I take the lid of for a bit and it settles down but once I place it back on, the incubator it soon Pipes up to 40.05 Any Advice or help to work my Incubator? (as in keeping the temperature at 37.5?) There are in eggs in there (It had been running fine for 24 hours before I placed them in there) Im afraid now that the eggs are goners (They are right?). I have a plenty of other eggs to place in the incubator once I get this problem sorted out! Thankyou -Mustang
Pffft! *Finally* Figured out the problem. Of course it was all Mustangs fault (I bet you can guess that I didn't set it up correctly )
Are you double checking it with a thermometer? Some (a lot, it seems) incubators have to be set at a different number than what you actually want the temp to be.
