Temp...ADVICE NEEDED*EDITED*

[Nicola]

Is this temp ok for the incubator in the centere its about 101.7F and about 99.9 around the edges is that ok for chook eggs?? or would they over heat cause im not quite sure scince this is my first hatch

What kind of bator are you working with? Does it have forced air are not? Those temps are not to high. If you do not have forced air I beleive its 102 you want to set the temps to.

its a homemade bator with no fan so its still air and the temp i have wrote down is the temp inside the water wiggler

I have never used a water wiggler but with the temps you mentioned you will not over heat your eggs. If you want to double check this you could do a search for water wiggler just to make sure but it seems like I remember the water wiggler is supposed to calculate the temps inside the egg. Good luck and have fun with your hatch. What are you trying to hatch?

I have orps and they are easy to get to hatch. I've never tried ducks yet. Have fun with it. Is this your first time hatching?
