All incubators allow for temperature adjustment, different models have different ranges of adjustment, see min and max on the table below. It is important that your incubator is located in a room with a stable temperature to ensure optimum conditions for incubation. Incubators should be located in a room free from draughts and out of direct sunlight. The room ‘min’ temperatures vary according to the incubator, see table below.
Min = the minimum incubation temperature setting on the incubator control. The actual minimum temperature that can be reliably maintained in practice is always approximately 3°C (5.4°F) above the ambient room temperature. For example, if your room is very warm, e.g. 35°C (95°F), the minimum incubation temperature will be 38°C (100.4°F), even if the setting is lower. The incubator fans and the eggs themselves create some heat.
Max = the maximum incubation temperature setting on the incubator control. Maximum temperature is limited by ambient conditions. If the room temperature falls below the room minimum your incubator might struggle to reach the set incubation temperature and the temperature around the eggs will not be as even as it should be.
Many Brinsea incubators are fitted with ambient temperature alarms that warn if the room temperature is getting too high or too low for the incubation temperature to be reliably maintained, see the table below.
