So I have started my first batch of coturnix eggs. Today is day 5 and I am using a forced air LG. I haven't had any temp swings it goes between 99 and a 100. My question is my digital thermometer shows 99 degrees and 38 % humidity. Should I adjust the temp to 100? Should I raise the humidity? I did candle a few random eggs out of the 50 and the ones I did candle are developing. Thanks for any help you can provide.
 
If you can get it up to 99.5 or 99.7, this is better. I don't like getting near 100 degrees. Bad things happen at or above 100. LOL But 99 is pretty cold. So do your best to at least split the difference. 38% humidity is a bit low as well. Shoot for 50% if you can.

Good luck with your hatch!
