The wiggler will take a while to come up.
What is the air temp? If it's over 101 start turning the white knob counter clockwise
just a TINY bit.
Also look for any moisture to form on the windows.

I may have missed it on the main thread...but is your incubator a still air or does it have a fan? If it is the still air, is it supposed to be at 102?
I'm in the same boat....always interested in advice, good going...
It was 119
turned it down.going to check it now
Edited to say it is down to 110............

It's a 9200 with a fan kit. Since she has a wiggler we are looking more
at the wiggler temps. The 9200 temp varies a lot with thermometer location.
Optimally I'd say we want an air temp of 101.
My current Brinsea has a dead on 99.5 wiggler temp and an air temp of
100.4 on the floor.
Okie, that thermostat must have gotten cranked up when I clean it. Sorry, my bad.
Turn it down 1/2 a turn. Open the bator for 30 seconds, then close and wait.

Started with the 9200's. Had good hatches and 2 bad hatches. The bad hatches
were due to inaccurate Flukers and impatience.
I'm on day 7 of my first hatch with the Octagon. So far so good. It has a wet bulb
thermometer for humidity. It's nice but I'm bery happy to have started out with
9200s because you really learn the tricks and what is really going on.
I have a lot of respect for Miss Prissy and her homemade bators. That's almost
like sitting on the eggs yourself.
