Thank you! The Govees are the same ones I have been using most of the incubation and when I added a liner and water and locked it down the temperature couldn't bring itself above 98°, at times lower. Humidity was also super high, like 86%, due to the lower temp I'm guessing. I had the incubator at 100.0 to keep it in the 99.5 range but I bumped it up to 101 so that it can be at 99.1 and 99.9 respectively on two different sides. I have this kind of Govee https://a.co/d/3j1zrPn , and it's lying flat (so chicks don't knock them over), so temperature could be lower and the top of the eggs warmer. I definitely don't want them too hot, but sitting that low half the day seems not good.I don't change my temp at all. Let me see if I can see what my govee says. Of course mine is tipped over from my hatch so need to stand them up. Lol. Also is the sensor for the govee at the bottom or do u have it at the top? Temp will be lower the lower in the incubator
Basically, I'm either trusting the Govees and keeping my temp at 101 so that it's above 99.0, or I'll keep it the way I had before and have it be potentially super humid and cooler. I don't get it, the humidity is just right when the temperature is just right, but that means incubator needs to be at "101.0." Dang.
