For incubating killdeer eggs, the temperature should be set around 99.5°F (37.5°C). It's important to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level, typically around 50-55% relative humidity. Regular monitoring is crucial to ensure optimal conditions for successful hatching.
it happens mostly at day time because its warm blooded and they sleep at night
37.7 degrees Celsius is the optimum temperature that is usually set in an incubator.

An incubator is generally a compartment with a controlled atmosphere. If an oven is set at particular warmth, about 50 to 100 degrees, it should substitute. The animal and its natural habitat should determine temperature.
It takes about 21 days (3 weeks) for a chicken egg to hatch. 21 days exactly when they started incubating.
The heating element is just maintaining the set level and conditions are cooling it off quickly such as a draft. Check your heating wafer and replace or set the thermostat at a slightly higher temp.
Incubators are used in Biology, hospitals, and agriculture for hatching eggs. An incubator has a thermostat that is turned on to a specific temperature and when the temperature goes below the set temperature, the heating element comes on.
Oh, yes. I have successfully hatched many ducks under broody hens for the past 35 years. In fact, when using an artificial incubator, the temperature for the chicken and duck eggs should be set at a steady 100F.
Eggs must not be placed into the incubator until all the clutch is gathered. Once all the eggs you wish to hatch are placed into the incubator and the lid is closed, the thermostat is set, do you start the count to 21 days. Until then allow the eggs to set in a cool moist area so early embryonic formation does not begin.
