I have used an LG Still-Air Incubator for the past two years, and I've always gotten good hatch rates, but this year most of mine are dying early in the egg. I keep the humidity between 45%-50% and have been keeping the temp at 101*-102*
Unfortunately, the incubator has a tendency to spike during the night, so I've been lowering the temp to 98*-99* before I go to bed and am not up checking on it. Does anybody have any tips on using this incubator? I purchased a Little Giant Circulated Air Incubator today and have it running in preparation of this week's eggs. It has, so far, been holding the temp better.
I keep the still air in a dark room where no action happens and the circulated air is in my bedroom, where it usually stays pretty dark but I go through a door to get in and outside, so there's a couple of drafts. I'd love tips on both of these incubators, especially when it comes to controlling heat spikes in the still air.
P.S. I've currently got eggs in the still air, and have lost several early in incubation so far.
