I have a thermometer/hygrometer ya, but a thermostat can actually lower and raise the temp with a dial or whatever. I have a good one, i calibrated it an everything also, i just have a crappy homemade incubator.....

95 is good temp to have it at it's what I reccomend

95 is FAR too low of a temp. Please do some research before you post information like that. Please.

Im going crazy with all this!! Im so nervous my babys arent gonna make it cuz the temp changes, it never stays too col or too hot for more than like 20 minutes though cuz im constantly checking on them. Really wish i had the money to just buy an incubator..

Check ebay or the auctions here... There are better bators out there, or post for help with improving the one you built.

Hope you mean 99.5 and not 95 because thats too low. Since I have still air I am happy with anything over 100 and anything under 102. Small window but I do my best to stay in it.

I started with 17 eggs, dropped two and two didnt form i now have 13, i think ive done pretty well to make it this far and havent had a thermostat. But im really cautious, try to be at least, i go back every half hour or so to check on them. i dont work right now and have that luxury to be able to. lol
I know next time im gonna make it bettrer, or try to trade someone for an incubator or something.
