101 degrees. That's what I have mine on.

What should the temperature be for a still-air incubator?

First incubator for me, Genesis Hovabator 1588. Temp at 100 for 20 days, have learned so much on this hatch site, but now seeing the temp should have been higher. About how much longer will it take the chicks to hatch?? still air.

Sometimes it is hard to read this website. There is a dark figure that moves across the screen. Does anyone else have this problem? This is what it looks like on my screen.

Hi, I have not had this happen.....................

Lmao...silly turkey. I get a much bigger blob in front of my screen...lol

I feel like I miss so much!
A deal of it is to do with the time difference. When I get up and look here there are only a few folk on - But as with today all the activity has happened while I was sleeping! Darn Well over 100 posts to catch up on so I have just flicked through and find it hard to keep up and see who has hatched and who is still waiting.

Tonight for me is LOCKDOWN!!!!! Yeahhhhh I am all excited but don;t have much hope?
After last year I have done NOTHING to these eggs.
I have not monitored temp or humidity -
I have NOT candled appart from one failed atempt early on.
All I have done is turn them 3 times daily and top up the water trough under the eggs.
Tonight I will turn for the last time fill up the outer ring under the eggs to the top as the bator instructs and then I am going to chill out and ignor it for a week - Or at least until I hear a chirp!

Darn you all know I will be clucking over them like a mother hen! Oh Please let them hatch!
The temp has risen slightly - thats a good sign right?
Oes

I know what you mean this thread moves very quickly sometimes. Tonight is lockdown for me too. I've got mine in my closet floor on my bedroom. Wife says I need to move them out before they start to hatch cos she doesnt want to hear all that cheeping!

THAT photo is absolutely FABULOUS!!!

Day 20 and I have at least two eggs that have been rocking pretty well since EARLY... one rocked so hard it rattled the wire under it... the other just keeps up with the little jiggles and has turned itself about a quarter turn in the meantime..(counter clockwise.... hee!!). I keep finding myself laying on the bathroom floor peering into the windows....

Here is one of my white eggs on day 6. It's moving fine, but worried that it's just on one lateral side. I've seen photos of embryos on the fat side is normal, but it's like it's only growing on half the egg. It's still early, but I'm concerned because I feel my turner wasn't working (only turning to one side). I have been turning them manually since day 4, and now added four different shapes to turn them to daily. Any suggestions?

Normal to be halved at day 6?
