So I got the 1588 Genesis hoverbator to use as my hatcher. My first batch was my very special SG eggs that went in on the 18th day from my RCom 20 to the new bator. I had it running for 2 days before hand to make sure humidity and temp was right.
The box said to trust that it was calibrated right and to not adjust the temperature until after a few hatches. My Springfield thermometer is reading 98.8 and 71 humidity. I have not heard a peep yet and it is day 21. I am hoping that my digital thermometer is off and that the bator is right but now with no action yet I am starting to panic!!!
Are the genesis 1588 really set to the right temp, could my digital thermometer be the one that is off? Will the temp of 98.8 just slow down my hatching so that maybe they will come out on day 22?
