the only way to really tell is to measure the egg temp but short of that rotate the eggs around the bator when you turn them.
what size are your bulbs?

They're 40 watt. Wonder if I put a zip lock baggy with water under one and take the temp if that would work.the only way to really tell is to measure the egg temp but short of that rotate the eggs around the bator when you turn them.

My first concern was that maybe your lights may have been too powerful but 2x40s seems standard in what I have read.They're 40 watt. Wonder if I put a zip lock baggy with water under one and take the temp if that would work.
how exciting, maybe i should try turkeys, but i am thinking i would be a bit afraid of them they are so huge
I will be looking for some midget whites' eggs in July for my big hatch next hatch.That's the great thing about Midget Whites. They stay little.![]()

Hi @LeviS
I can start off with a question because this image does not show me what I am looking for......
the fan placement is where most people mess up.
The fan must be placed so that it blows under the bottom of the lights so that the heat doesnt stick at the light bulbs and is sent around the bator no just under them, so what you need is the fan air to blow on the bulbs AND 1.5" est below them or you will have HOT SPOTS under them, if you have room to do what I do (see the pattern in the images below) But I have no problem filling them all under the lights, (didnt post those images though) ANYONE INCUBATING in ANY bator should move eggs around in the bator at least on candle days! I have .76 degree difference from front to back of my coolers, not that big of a deal but I incubate at higher temps than 99.5 so I dont have wiggle room, so its best that I use the space in the front where temps are all the same. Since we made the Cabinet Coolerbator for incubating, I now use my reg coolers for hatchers and temps are alot lower than incubation so I fill them up all over inside for hatching. Good Luck!![]()
