Pls help! First time incubating eggs in hova bator!!!

[Intheswamp]

A couple of things there, Catherine. Does the room that the Hova is located in have a stable temperature without large temp fluctuations? The Hova needs a relatively stable temperature environment to work in...something like a 10 degree range, for example 65-75 degrees is ok.

You might try placing one or two bottles of water in the incubator to act as heatsinks to help stabilize the temperature and stop the fluctuations.

Best wishes,
Ed

Hi Catherine! I have the same incubator and it took 2 days to get the temp stable. I put my eggs in May 1st and can see embryos in most of them so I think it's working out ok even though the first 2 days the temp was low. Good luck!

Thanks for the responses! We got a different thermometer and it seems to be stabilized nicely at 99.5!

We'll see! Good luck to everyone!
