Hi guys,
Just built an incubator with two shelves and a top and bottom light bulb system hooked to a helix. The two shelves have diff temps by about 2 degrees. The top is like 84 the bottom 85.7. I am trying a different size bulb in the bottom to get less heat in that bottom shelf. How much difference can the eggs take between the two area? Is 2 degress acceptable. Should I lower the helix to 83 and then the bottom shelf would be 84.7? Or does this amount of variation mean nothing for the eggs? Vicki do you have an idea about this? Richard
