So I have a Little Giant still air incubator. I've put together a fan (computer fan and cell phone cord). And I've added a power break thermostat. This is what I have a question about.
This thermostat will shut off the power (right now at 102-103 degrees), and it turns back on at 85-90 degrees. So if the temps try to spike it will cycle between 85-103 every 15 minutes, until I find it. What would you try to have the upper limit as? I know the temp fluctuations like this won't be good for the eggs, but I figure it is better than a high spike. And since the eggs are fluid filled, they won't actually fluctuate that much. I figure the eggs will sit at around 95 degrees until I rescue them.
Also how do I position the fan? Can it blow on the eggs?
Thanks!
