As WV said, those temps are okay! I just got the 20 this winter and mine did not fluctuate as it rotated, that I noticed. Also, it can take awhile (a few hours) for the temp to regulate after you adjust it. But running anywhere from 99-101 will not hurt the eggs. Are these shipped eggs or local?
How did you know that I was wondering what your pm said??!!
you guys are the best. No wonder I have been here for SO many years and no matter how much I stray I always come back here to help and get help. I see my hatching support team already... LOL!!!!!!! ok, I have past my 'holy crud I'm going to have a baby (13of them) new pregnancy jitters. temp is holding 99.5 -99.9 even when it turns. I moved the bator to the dining room where the room temp is a steady 71 degrees, no drafts, no direct sunlight, and I also changed the digital thermometer location. It is now on the egg tray. I think its stable now. I am on hour 53!!!! I know, I know, quit looking at it so much! Cant help it! I have gone from scared crapless and bouncing off the walls, to finally eggcited and lets rock and roll!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!!! Im going to have babies!!!!!!!!
