Hova Bator Genesis 1588 Temp at Lockdown

[raininonme]

Hello, I've just put my Hova Bator Genesis 1588 into lockdown this morning. They've been at 45-55% humidity and 37.5 C (99.5F) the past 18 & 25 days (Turkey and Chicken eggs in there together). The air sacks all look good. Though this is my first attempt at incubating. I have a calibrated hygrometer that I have been using, it was in the egg turner and is now laying on the wire. After lockdown it now shows 65% humidity, which I think is perfect... I think hatching will make the humidity go up, but it still shouldn't pass the max 75% humidity rating for the machines equipment. The problem is, it is showing 36.9 C (98.42F) on the wire with the eggs. Is this too low? Should I try to raise the temp for them? Thank you for your help

How did the hatch go?

I don't think the temp was an issue, though the humidity was. They were getting shrink wrapped. I upped the humidity and that seemed to help. Sorta tricky with these things. Too high humidity seemed to drop the temperature.
If you split it by breed, two breeds hatch rate was about 60-70% and the one breed was under 20%. The poor hatch eggs I had a hard time finding nice enough ones to incubate so I think that may have had something to do with it. I'll leave the temp as is next hatch and make sure to have a bit higher humidity during lock down. I create a tube system for adding water so we'll see how the next batch do.
