I have the Chickcozy Incubator.

I see there are different temperature ranges for Forced air and Still air but I am wondering if my Chickcozy is forced air or still?
I am gathering it is forced air as it looks like at the top under lid is the fan?

I have set my temp now .5 higher than it was. to 101F.
Not sure if this will be a mistake but it seems if my Govee is correct its about a degree out. So Actual temp according to Govee is showing 100F.

Is a temp of 100F or 100.5F most of the time Ok? or is this too high in forced air?

Before I had Chickcozy set at 100.5F so my Govee sitting on one of the empty egg trays was reading around a degree lower so around 95.5F..

I was scared that maybe going lower than 95.5 is bad so put it up.
I have 8 eggs left of 24 - shipped eggs from SA to NSW. I think the first 2 days were too cold as I was only folllowing the Chickcozy ONLLY set at 99.5 so was probably actually 98.5F.

We are day 8 nearly 9 now and I have candled the 8 eggs and i see 8 little moving beings and veins :)
The egg trays were a little big so I have put tissues under and around them. Would this be dangerous in regards to airing of the egg, I Hope not. I thinking its keeping them a lot more stable with the egg trays move from side to side.
Thank you.
 
Let me answer some of your questions.
With the fan running,, it is a Forced air incubator. Circulating air makes more uniform temperature in most areas of the incubator.
You candled, and see life:thumbsup
Let your temperature be at current setting.
The tissue under, and around should be removed in my opinion. You want your eggs freely turning. I am assuming your incubator has an automatic turner.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and:welcome

are you using silkie or bantam eggs? There is a seller on etsy who makes 3d printed turning trays for this chickcozy in different sizes for smaller eggs. Silkies, Seramas, quail.
