To turn down the temp or not to turn

[JennH07]

I am on my first hatch ever, and I have been reading a ton of info. Most say nothing about turning down the temp (95 degrees) when you go into lockdown. So my question is do I really need to turn the temp down or will it be ok at 99.5 for lockdown?

Thanks in advance for any replies that this gets!!

My incubator directions say it is "optional". I didn't turn it down on my first hatch....and will not this time since it worked out ok.

I have only gone through two hatches and didn't turn down the temperature at lockdown. In fact my first hatch was about a degree low the entire time and the hatch was late. I would suggest against adjusting the temp for lockdown. Good luck!

Let it be, no need to turn it down.
