Momsflock,
It takes a day or so for the temps to stabilize, but after that you want to maintain at least 99.5 if you have a fan or 100.5 for still air. Is you homemade incubator still air or did you intall a fan? Did you install a thermostat? How do you control your temps? I have a home made incubator, too. Your humidity sounds like it is pretty good now. Also be prepared for shipped eggs to be a bit disappointing. I have started with those also, and they can lead you to be discouraged, even when you do everything right. I hope you have great success with them. Good Luck with your hatch.
