Still air incubator

[Connies Chicks]

Is there anyone that can tell me what the temperature is suppose to be in a still air incubator. One side shows 97 to 98 the other side shows 101to 102.

I have mine at 100 seams to be fine for my hatches , They usally hatch 1 day earlier than my projected 21day count , I have 25
EE eggs in there now Waiting on my polish eggs I was hoping to get today so they go in around the same time Maybe they will come tomarrow. Good luck with your hatch

Also does it have a fan ? the temp depends if you have a fan also .

still air incubator

means just that i thought lol no fan? i run around 100 at the top of the eggs

I have a thermometer on both sides and at the top of the eggs it gives me two different temps.

Oh the reason I asked about the fan is some people install a fan , I did at one point in mine until it stopped working , it cost about 30 to 35$ so I never bought another one

but any way , I think you will be fine , Good luck

I do plan on adding one to it to make it a forced air one but it might be after I get these hatched. Hope it does good.

easy way to add a fan is a computer fan and a 12 volt power supply like you charge your cell phone with mount it under a vent hole so you pull some fresh air from what i understand

I bought a computer fan hope it works well when I get it. only paid 1.50 for it on ebay so if not it will not be too bad. Just really did not want to pay 35 dollars for the fan then turn around and spend 50 for another turner. (just bought one for 1st incubator).
