Should I adjust the temp in my incubator?

[Danny17]

I have the hova 1588 incubator, on the evening of Monday April 15th I placed 24 eggs I got from a friend in the incubator. I'm not sure if that makes day 21 Monday May 6 or Tuesday May 7th. It depends on if you count the day you put them in as day 1.

Around day 12 I candled them and had 13 that we're developing, 3 with the blood ring and 8 that looked like they weren't fertilized, or just never got started.

SAturday may 4th, day 18 or 19 one chick hatched and one started pipping. By the time I woke up Sunday morning a total of 8 had hatched, and over the course if today, 3 more hatched. So now, evening of day 19 or 20 depending on when you count from, there are only 2 eggs left, no sign of pipping. I'll give them a couple more days, but I'm guessing they won't hatch. But I'm real happy with 11 out of 13!

Anyway, today I picked up 16 duck eggs that will go in as soon as these are done , the question is, should I drop the temp by half a degree seeing as they hatched early?

Are you using an independent thermometer, or relying on the Genesis's display? I have two, and neither's displays are accurate.

11/13 is great - congrats!

Just the display, and it's set at 100 degrees. I know it might be off, but from what I've read, you can adjust based on results I just don't know if one batch is enough to make changes on.

On the one hand I was thinking a couple days early drop it .5, but on the other hand, why mess with success?

For the record, this was my first time doing this.

The last two didn't hatch, I opened them up and the chicks were pretty developed, but clearly dead with yoke sack still attached. Not sure what happened.

Still, happy with 11 or 13. Just put duck eggs in, I left the temp where it was, but still thinking of lowering .5 degrees.
