The thermostat probe is placed under the shelf in the middle of the incubator. I always used the top shelf when I had only one clutch. I now have two tubs on the top shelf and two on the middle shelf. The thermostat is a Helix DBS-1000. The probes in the tubs are placed among the eggs on the plastic that is on top of the light grating, which is on top of the vermiculite.
It seems the fluctuation has something to do with having more tubs in the incubator. I just don't know why the temps in the tubs are so different. Tonight, one is sitting at 86.7 and another at 91.2
