I have had very bad news....Maybe.... Here is MY deal.... I built a upright Freezer Incubator... I had a Helix DBS 1000 hooked up to a Pro heat panel, I had No problem when the incubator was empty....temp was 89 degrees all the time...with no problems ...I set the eggs boxes in the incubator several days before my first clutch was laid...I had the temp probe mounted above the heat panel about 1 1/2 ft to try and get a more steady temp. Well I put my eggs and the helix was reading 89 degrees and most of the other thermostats read close to the same so I didn't think I had anything to worry about. Well Not true.... I noticed the closest egg box to the heat panel that the eggs were denting a little and I had 91 - 100% humidity, so I knew that was not the problem....So I decided to temp gun the eggs themselves, and guess what the eggs ranged from 91 - 95 degrees but they are still good eggs and the have been at them temps I am assuming the full 27 days that they were in incubation. So far they are still showing blood veins and are still looking good..... So I have my fingers crossed that they will be ok.... Needless to say I added a FAN to the incubator and everything is very nice in the incubator I even have a probe in the eggs box with the eggs... still around 90, the box stays around 89 give or take a degree.....PUT a FAN in LARGE INCUBATORS. My humidity is still 91 - 100%.... Thanks David
