   Hello Everyone!
   I'm pretty new to this and have read that because developing chicks give off heat, you can expect the temperature of your incubator to rise. Does anybody know about which day this will occur? Also, I imagine if you have a full incubator, this effect will be much more pronounced...what if your incubator was only half-full? (Note: I'm an "incubator is half-full" kind of person )

   I've never had it happen, even with a full turner.

   The thermostat on your incubator will adjust as the internal temp of the incubator changes. You should not notice a change in temp. at all, it will just stay at your setting.
