Room temperature for incubator

[AAcres]

Hi! I’m pretty sure this question has been asked a billion times before, but would a little giant incubator be good to set up in a room that ranges from 63-68 F?

Anyone? Is this temp too low? The room generally stays around 66-68 but did dip down to 63 yesterday as it was windy and cold outside

You should be just fine, your incubator will heat up. I hope you have an independent thermometer and hygrometer to use though, the instruments on the styrofoam incubators are usually wrong.

Thanks!
I have an independent thermometer. Do you recommend a certain hygrometer?

You can get one from Amazon, but, you are going to have to test it for accuracy. Google the salt test for a hygrometer, it's super easy. That way you will know exactly what is going on in the bator. Good luck with your hatch!
