need help on incubator humidity and temp

[tc62]

OK Here goes I purchased a 9200 little giant, with a 6300 auto egg tuner,

with a 7200 air fan kit. I have the thermo that came with the tuner in side

the unit and a fake egg with hair gel with a probe in it for my wiggler.. The

therm probe has temp and humidity levels on it ( a

ACURITE digital w/probe) I have it hanging on the wall Should it be in the

incubator? The temp on the digital is 98.1 and 28% humidity. I have a

inside therm that is reading a steady 98 I have 31 eggs some are banty's ..

I put them in the bator on the 14th . Do I need to keep adding water in the reservoirs and how do I do it with the turner in the way??

NOW WHAT WAIT????

You need your temp to around 100 degrees.. (99.5) just try to maintain it close to 100 as possible.

The humidity.. 25 to 50.. for 18 days.. I had mine at 50 when the little ones just hatched

Keep an eye on your temp until the eggs get warmed up, because the temperture will fluctuate for awhile..

What I do on humidity... Is get a cup of warm water,, open my top a little and pour the water (NOT MUCH) in the middle of the egg turner.. I left one egg slot open..

Good luck

I don't use a water wiggler but I thought the whole thing Accurite with probe needs to be in the incubator.

I use a straw stuck on the end of one of those bulb syringes that are used for irrigating ears to fill the slots in my LG. I put food coloring in the water when I first set the incubator up so I can see where to aim when I am adding more, I add through the windows so I don't have to open the incubator all the way. I don't have a probe type thermometer/hygrometer so I just set mine inside in one of the cups of the turner where I can see it, so I really don't know about how yours should be set up.

when you put the probe in the water wiggler, i know it checks the temp, but does it also check the humidity?

 

[Marion]

I don't think that it checks the humidity with the probe inside of a wiggler, it would have to sample the air inside the incubator and if it is enclosed in the wiggler I don't think it could. Are you sure that the humidity is measured with the same probe as the temperature?

Well I guess you were right I just put it in the bator and the temp is 99.0 and the humid is 51% .. I think we have a winner.. thanks

Temp is 99.5 humid is 51%
