Incubator question

[Tsagirl]

Ok, now I really want a very very good hatching rate!
When I recive the eggs do I slowly heat them up in the incubator or shoud I regulate the bator and then put them in??? Last time I just put them in and I had a 50% hatch(dont know if this had anything to do with it).
So if anyone knows, please inform me! LOL
Happy holidays everyone!!

You get the bator regulated first at the proper temp and humidity and stable before putting in your eggs. Also, let the eggs come up to room temp at least before putting them in. Even then, the overall bator temp will go down for awhile after you put the eggs in, until the internal temp of each egg has come up to the set bator temp, then it should regulate.

That sounds good!
I will be doing that!
