my first hatch

[bangor777]

ok, my incubator has been running for 2 days now, humidity is at 60% (a little high?), temp at 99.5 (still air). I just put 12 pheasant eggs in. Any tips? is my humidity too high? i'm so nervous.

the humidity may be a tiny bit high but it's ok where it is.. and i have a still air bator as well an it stayed at 99.5 i couldn't get the temp up so i kept it at 99.5 .. everyone says for a still air the temp should be around 100 or 100.2 but my eggs hatch just fine at 99.5

mine could go higher, the dang thing was at 120 at one point (temp)
i've just found that its very stable at this temp, as soon as i turn the dial it gets kind of erratic. its kept the 99.5 for over 30 hours now. should i try to dial it up a tad??????????

if it was me i would leave it at 99.5 cuz mine is the same way everytime i try to turn the temp up.. it ended up goin to like 110 or 115..an it only stayed steady at 99.5 so i left it there and i hatch out chicks and ducks at that ( 99.5 )
