What temperature?

What temperature should my incubator be on when anticipating a hatch?

i try to keep it within limits as normal .. i have noticed slightly warmer tends to make them hatch quicker, but generally its not worth risking adjusting the bator if its sitting within limits ..if it goes out it could shock them and cause problems ..

What temperature should my incubator be on when anticipating a hatch?

99.5°F, or 100.5°F depending if it still air, or a forced air incubator.

Are you using separate calibrated thermometers, & hygrometers inside your incubator to monitor conditions accurately?

Then, you won't know the actual conditions inside the incubator.

You never wanna trust the built in hygrometer, & thermometer of an incubator.
