How are you turning?

Help?
I cannot get my incubator to drop below 102°.

I have a hova-bator. I have turned it down nearly as far as it will go, and that drops it to like 70°. No matter where I turn the thermostat, it is either too hot or too cold. I have tried everything to get it to 99°.

if you can use a screwdriver, wire nuts and electrical tape you may want to consider a digital replacement thermostat.

there has been lots of discussion on them in the last few pages

Has anyone moved their eggs on day 18 from the incubator to a hatcher? How would someone go about doing it? I am planning on setting up a 10 (or 20?) gallon tank with shavings in it and a heat bulb (do I need to use a red one, or is a regular white one fine?) and a himidity thing (meshed water dish or something similar). The reason im doing it this was is because my incubator doesnt have a window- its an old mini fridge, and the eggs are about 10 inches up in the air.. and I have turkey eggs in there along with the chicken eggs.

any ideas and advice is much appreciated!

Quote: are you doing a 45 turn or less? I forgot to ask if you checked temps at the bottom of your eggs as well, your using cartons and they do restrict air flow around that bator
