Mini advance. How do I get it down a bit, I like it at about 62

Do you have the vent fully open?

Thanks!  I'd like to have a few but I want to keep my neighbors happy...

Someone offered me some and I had to politely decline due to noise for me and my neighbors and they said "oh, yea, they would be screeching on the rooftop."

Yesterday I set Silkie eggs under my two broodies, more in the bator. 7 Bantam Cochin eggs, a couple of mystery large chicken eggs and 25 button quail. I already have mini chicken, duck, goose and emu incubating so I believe that is the most varieties I have ever incubated simultaneously!

Should be fun to have all that variety around.

Is there a vent on that thing? I can't find it. There is just one tiny air hole.
