My incubator won't hold temp during lockdown. It seemed to be doing fine at 99.5, but once the humidity went up , the temp dropped to 95/96. I keep upping the temp setting, but I am very concerned it's going to suddenly start holding temp and will be spiked and cook the eggs. I *think* it's because of the high altitude and low ambient humidity here (single digits) We use evaporative (swamp coolers) for air conditioning and it will lower the temperature 10- 15 degrees in the house. It makes sense that it would do the same in the incubator, but it is so frustrating! I can't get the humidity in the incubator below 70%. I have blocked the water well. I would like to be closer to 65%, but it's just not happening. I guess I will check the forecast to see if the humidity will be above 20% tomorrow, but I wish it would just behave.
Poor chickies. I think this is why my eggs develop, but don't hatch. I thought they were drowning. Now, I wonder if they are freezing.
It's a Brinsea mini-advance.
