    I bought a medical-grade infrared thermometer, so you'll get the correct temp readings. I have two other 'normal' infrared thermometer guns, and when I boiled some water, one was twelve degrees off and the other was five degrees off. Keeping the correct temps for my marine fish was a nightmare; six thermometers gave six different readings.

    I have 180 eggs incubating in three different incubators. Two are NR 360 and one is a Little Giant. The NR 360 fluctuate wildly in temperature and I have them in a heated room with a fairly stable. I have the same hygrometer/thermometer in each of the three units. The Little Giant remains fairly stable at 99.7 most of the time. It's gone up and down some, and I've made some incremental adjustments, but I am trusting it the most. The 2 NR 360 swing down as low as 98.7 up to 101.2. I've really been trying to stabilize them and having a hard time. They spend more time at around 100⁰ than below 99.5, but once they climb above 100 I bump them down a .5⁰ notch. Inevitably they drop back down below 99⁰. Its driving be batty. For the past few days they have held alright between 99.7 and 100. They go into lockdown in 2 days and I'm hoping they will give me at least a few chicks. The NR 360 both rose to 101 for at least a couple hours while I was at work. I think the Little Giant eggs will be fine though. Anyways, cant wait to see, the results of this "experiment."

    Thank you for the video, I feel like I followed your tips pretty well when hatching out my quail other than maybe letting the humidity get to high during lock down my nurture right 360 and govee which was inside the entire time were showing 72 on the low side and at the highest 78 for humidity during lock down, my temp on the incubator was off by .5 degrees according to the govee so I ran the incubator at 100 the entire process. I ended up with 11 live chicks and one partially hatched chick which died out of the 30 eggs. I started lock down on the morning of day 15 and they hatched on day 17, I wonder if I would have started increasing humidity on day 14 if I would have had a better hatch? Anyway thanks again for the video!
