I have one of the old round metal brower incubators. I have had it running for several days with a water wiggle and thermometer in it. The temp has been reading 99.5 in the water wiggle up to the point when I put my eggs in at 7am this morning( 19 guinea and 17 BR). When I turned the eggs a few minutes ago the thermometer in the wiggle was reading 96.0 and the thermometer at the top level of the eggs was reading 98.0. Is it just taking a while for the bator to warm the eggs and the air around them back up to 99.5 or what I am totally confused as it has been 11 hrs since I set them. Please help Thanks a mill Joel
I'm new, hope someone helps you. I just wanted to bump you up. I think thats what they call it. Good Luck.
It will take sometimes a day for your bator to warm back up to normal temps and humidity after setting the eggs...
The temp in the water wiggler is the temp that minics the inside of the eggs. Yes it does take a while to warm the eggs, try increasing the temp just a hair a time. It is better to start out on the cool side and warm slightly than jump to high. Good luck and I'm sending good hatching vibes your way.
