Temperature for hatching

[mandarb77]

Hey all,
The best I can get is a 99.5-101.5 Is that too much?

I am using a hot water heater thermostat, close to a 60w bulb (1.5 inch or so) cpu fan and rubber maid cooler.

Ideas? Thoughts? Insults?

My eggs should arrive Wed so I have a coupke days to tweak.

Thanks

99.5 is perfect!

Sorry,
I phrased the question poorly.
Light goes on at 99.5
off at 101.5

is that ok?

2 days fiddling and the best I can get.

It will have to be won't it?

I wouldn't worry about it. Worst that would happen is you might get pips at day 19 and chicks at 20 instead of 21.

I wouldn't try it with $20.00 per dozen eggs, but.... I wouldn't buy expensive eggs anyway. Might try to sell some though....

I guess...

Ordered a bunch of bantam eggs. Had 12 of my own. Fox/Hawk left me at 4. Trying to get the number back up to a level where I can just breed my own odd looking little beasts.
