Is it my incubator or temp rise due to egg development???? Ugh!

I think Seramas and tiny bantams will begin to pip on the 17th day so you might want to adjust your schedule to that.

If your incubator is working right and has a functional thermostat, doesn't mater how much extra heat the eggs add, the temperature should always be the same. If eggs give off heat, the heater element is on less.

Thank you silkie chicken, you are the only one that has ever said that, other than me. Thats why they are thermostats. Thats the whole point of them, to regulate the temperature.

What is the coolest temp thats safe im having the same problem but it only day six and i have a bator full of eggs with chicks inside i can see the blood veins already. I lost a whole batch last month bc of the humidity now im having heat spikes but my bator is a forced air with auto turner
