Settings for still air hatcher

[sonicapollo]

I have a genesis with turner going at about 99.3 or so for incubating. I bought a 1602 still air so I could do a seperate lockdown. I know some people reduce temps for the hatcher, but a still air requires more heat. What should I set the temp to, 100?

Set it 100°. The idea is that different levels will be different temps in a still air. So, if your thermometer is reading 100° at the top of the eggs, it should be 99.something near their center.

Happy hatching!

The hatching 101 article by sally sunshine that is linked in my signature will tell you 102 at top of eggs.

Many people also say to reduce the temp by a
degree for hatching vs incubating.
