Small temprature fluctuations

[Blue Man Dan.]

incubating for the first time so need a bit of advice. When i check the temp in my incubator (every 10 minutes or so) its always somewhere in between 37 and 38! I was thinking would it be a good idea to take the temperature every 5 minutes for an hour then work out an average, i know i should be aiming for the 37.5 mark?

Also Humidity, its around the 35% - 40% mark, how does this sound? also how do fluctuations effect the growing chick?


many thanks for your help!

Im not real good at converting over. Your humidity is where I would have it. 2*F(1*C) fluctuation is not ideal but they should hatch fine. The egg wont be fluctuating that much.

I took 15 readings in an hour and got an average of 37.4 deg c, seems good to me
