Question
im looking to find out what the outside temperature should be outside of the incubator.If i remember rightly it is 87f.i worked hand rearing parrots at a bird farm in the uk and i am now starting up myself incubating and rearing them myself.Im ok on the rearing but new to the incubation.Ive purchased an octagon 20dx automatic incubator and im looking for some more advise on that area.would appreciate any help you think you can give,thankyou mark

Answer
This link might help you out.  I've never done this (the incubation) so I really don't know the specifics.  The lady handling my rescue/sanctuary isn't available right now and she's the one with the breeding experience.
