I have a Hovabator Genesis 1588 with an automatic turner. I set 16 eggs on January 5th. My temps have remained steady (99.5-99.7) throughout the first 18 days. I have 12 eggs that went into lock down yesterday. Since removing the turner, the temp has never climbed higher than 97.8? My humidity is about 71%, but it just doesn't seem like the temp is going to get any higher. We haven't opened the top at all, but I am confused about what is going on? The only thing I am thinking is that my thermometer is sitting on the wire now during lock down and was sitting on top of the turner during the first 18 days - perhaps this is what it was measuring on the wire all along?
Should I do anything to try to increase the temps?
