I set my incubator up yesterday and since this thing reads in C° I figured out that 99° F is 38.0 C or I hope it's right...?
Now as for the humidity, does it read the same as US? I'm not really sure, I need input please!
As for the egg turner, I don't think it's turning at all! I marked one of the eggs with a pencil so I can tell if it moves and so far nada!
One more thing, is there any special way the eggs are supposed to sit on the turner? This incubator has round hollow tubes and there's no way to have the eggs sit with the large end up.
Hope that wasn't too many questions!
 
99'F = 37.2'C
You would need it to be 37.6'C - 37.7'C.
Humidity reads the same. I incubate 30-40%.
They have to sit fat side up or on their sides.
You can mark them on opposite sides and hand turn them no less than twice a day. I mark mine D and N so I can know if I turned them or not.
 
Thank you so much for the info! I even Googled the temp and it was wrong, lol!
One more thing about the turner. Oh wait, it's working by the way, YAY!
Anyway, all the eggs have sort of rolled into each other, does that matter? Should I straighten them back up?
 
I straighten them up once a day. Usually at night I make sure they are all getting turned all the way. As the chick grows in the egg, the egg gets heavier and they turn more efficiently on their own.
