Internal egg temp?

[Petej]

So, with all the talk of water wigglers, I made one.

What should the interanl temp of an egg be?

My air thermometer reads 99.5, the wiggler reads around 97.

Which should it be?

Good question, I would also like to hear some other chime in on this. I was always told the incubator temp needed to be 99.5 at the middle of the egg but no one ever said the internal temp on the egg. I have never used a water wiggler, thought about it here recently just cause I am curious. I would not fiddle with the temp on the incubator though as it is just because I always run mine at 99.5 to 100.5 and they always hatch right on time.
Edited for spelling.

I think even in nature, the actual internal temp of the egg is going to be slightly lower than the air temp.

I am putting the Quail into Lockdown Tomorrow, so we will see!!
