Any different place, method or scenario can take some "tweeking" to arrange heat sources/distances from eggs, etc.. to get the optimum desired outcome. Just keep cool and push things around a bit until your good judgement is met. It is as easy as that really.



Last year, I used a small space heater setup in a spare bathroom to hatch eggs stacked on a tiered table, but right now, my eggs are in a small bathroom vanity below one of the sinks with a heating pad placed on a metal tray. The year before that, I used big plastic bins with water, and aquarium heater tubes down in the water.



All of these can easily work exactly as planned at 80 to 81 degrees, it is just a matter of getting all these things tweeked a bit to get these temps, and even gapping lid tops of things to get the right temp(not the actual egg container though), just what they are enclosed in..LOL!
