How do I set the temperature on my little giant incubator?
Regulate the Little Giant Egg Incubator temperature. Turn the thermostat control knob fully clockwise until the red indicator light turns on. When the thermometer reaches the egg species-appropriate hatching temperature, turn the control knob slowly counter-clockwise until the desired temperature is maintained.
What happens if you don’t turn the eggs in a incubator?
If not turned for long periods the yolk will eventually touch the inner shell membranes. When the embryo touches the shell membranes, it will stick to the shell and die. Regularly turning the egg will prevent this, and ensure healthy embryo development.

Can I open my incubator during lockdown?
The incubator is supposed to remain closed from the start of lockdown till the last chick hatches. Of course sometimes you must get chicks out if they’ve been out of their shells for too long and you’re still waiting on stragglers to hatch. However, just opening it any time you want to is a recipe for disaster.
How do you reset an incubator?
To reset the day “counter”, push and hold the “reset” button. I do not have a “black” button below my power button on either of my two incubators. When clearing the days, it may be necessary to repeat the push# hold procedure twice. It is a “safety” measure to prevent your “count” from being erased.
What happens if temperature is too low in incubator?
If you are a degree or two too low, your eggs will hatch late and with a reduced hatch rate. No matter what your thermometer tells you, if your eggs hatch early or late, adjust your thermostat settings accordingly. Temperature spikes or valleys: This has to do with occasional drastic changes in temperature.
