Incubation in the closet- Is it hot enough?

[RicoRoxy]

I had read/viewed many breeders stating a plastic storage bin in the house hall closet was the incubation spot. I recently read it should be 84 degrees. I tend to keep my house at 78 degrees just because it costs to much to keep it colder..

Is this warm enough? I know the closet does not have a vent for the air conditioner, still is this warm enough?

Help..

I incubate using the closet method. My temps range from 72-76 degrees depending on the time of yr.

Sorry, I neglected to add, veiled.. We had 41 eggs laid on 3/1 and we are super excited. I see you are in Texas too, so if you can use the closet I should be able to also.

I used to keep & breed veileds also. It may take a month or two longer for them to develop & hatch but Ive always had good hatch rates using the closet. Thats why I havent bought an incubator. Jmp experience.

84 is really hot. I wouldn't keep any eggs that warm!
