Incuview Incubator 360 with automatic turner.View attachment 3729085Ignore the 102.2°F reading, that was when I was having temperature spikes that I got under control.

Hello- May I ask how you resolved your temperature issue? I have been having hatch issues and the company thinks its a problem with my egg handling, but im pretty sure its temperature. This is the same incubator i have.

I had to adjust calibration until it stabilized.

So what type of thermometer do you recommend as being accurate? And do you mess with a hygrometer? I think the tiny one included is kinda useless, but I add water every day on the theory that as long as there is water in there it should be okay. My old styrofoam one worked fine without a hygrometer, but maybe the fan makes it dry out too much? I don't know what type of problems lack of humidity causes.

I use these.
They're easy to calibrate. I use one in the incubator, & one outside the incubator to monitor house conditions.

Go to the settings on your incuview, & find Calibrate?
Take a picture for me when you do? I Calibrate according to house temperature.

I also use Incubator Warehouse Egg O Meters too. They tell you the temperature inside your eggs.
But I use them to identify cold spots in my Incubator though.

I think I'll have to wait until I get my thermometers. I have a couple eggs left to see if they hatch still. Thank you!

I have the patience to turn eggs manually so most of my incubators are manual, but I have some favorites

specifically these three
