Thanks! Is it Ok for the temperature to be in the 96-106 range? My incubator isn't holding perfect temperatures.

Try to steady it. Any temperature above 103 will kill the embryo in the eggs

Also, make sure to keep the humidity around 45 and up it to 60 on lockdown

99.5 F is the ideal temp. but holding it correct is difficult. I asked the other day and was told 99 - 101, but I do believe lower is better and KNOW extended times over 102 will kill the embryo. Good luck.
