i set 23 eggs on the 2nd jan. in a bigger cooler/bater i made and all was well ..temp stayed between 99-100 degs. went to bed at 11pm last night all was fine , got up at 5am and the light bulb was blowed..temp was 77deg...not sure how long the light was out but i put a new bulb in it morning and it's warming back up so im hopeing this wont hurt the eggs....what do you guys use as emergency heat when the bulbs blow in these homemade bators...this is my second bator and second set of eggs set..1st bator made the same way did great ..i set 9 eggs in it and hatched 4 chicks in it yesterday...
