Mumsy, would you discuss the temperatures that you use as a guide? I know the thermometer on the floor of the bator will read less than the one on the top of the eggs, and both may be different from the probe. What temperature do you keep at each level? Thanks for all your help!!You are welcome.
I forgot to mention something about the digital temperature/hygrometer built into the lid of the Genesis 1588. I set the temp at 99.8 degrees so it kept a close temp of 99.5 throughout the hatch. I did not pay attention to the built in hygrometer. It was 10% off on my bator. I use a dual purpose one that I bought in the reptile section at the pet store. I costs around $20 and hasn't let me down yet. I set it level with the top of the eggs. I also like to insert a probe digital meat thermometer through the holes I use for syringing water. I like the added comfort of knowing my 99 degrees is holding. Not needed but I like it.
