What is the lowest possible temptuer for Chicken Eggs to hatch? My incubator will not go anyhigher than 98F .. is that fine?
You should keep the incubator at 100 F, but since your only two degrees below it is all okay. Don’t forget about the humidity, it should be at 60%. Also you need to turn the eggs about six times everyday so that the yolk doesn’t stick to one side. Its hard work but such fun. I loved it when my family had their farm. Good luck.

The first time (actually every time) you hatch a brood of chickes is just so excitiing.As more people are starting to take an active interests in rare and endangered breeds, the quality of a number of breeds is increasing,
