Incubator or Thermostat Issue?! Also, how much Media is enough?
Hi everyone,
Couple questions! First, how much media does everyone recommend using? I bought a 16qt Sterilite bin for my upcoming clutch, and had a 64oz bag of SuperHatch. I've used just about all the SuperHatch, and it only fills the box about an inch. I'm assuming that I'll need more, or is that a decent amount?
Also; I'm having a strange issue with my incubator temperature. After fiddling with my thermostat (Helix) and testing temperatures, I finally had it perfect. The thermostat temperature was set at 85 degrees, and my freestanding thermometer within the incubator read 88-88.5 degrees. It was stable for about 3 days. Yesterday morning, I walk in and check it, and it was reading 95 degrees! Nothing else changed; the probe was in the same position, the thermostat was in the same position. I dropped the thermostat back down to 80 degrees last night. This morning, the incubator was at 79 degrees. I just bumped the thermostat up to 83 degrees to see what happens.
Any advice on this? What is the max/min temperature the eggs can withstand in case this spiking were to happen with eggs in the incubator? I'm just really confused why it even did this, and obviously concerned for my eggs that are due in 3-9 days!
Thanks again everyone,
Kourtney
