    My incubator Temperature dropped to 22c HELP!

    Hi, I really need some advice! My chickens eggs are currently on day 13, and I just checked my incubator and saw the temperature is at 22c and 56 humidity. I last checked my eggs 12/16hrs ago and the temperature was at 37.6 and humidity 45. So, my eggs could have been sat in 22c temperature...

    Temperature flux between 98.6 and 101 for a day, are these eggs still viable?

    I've incubated before and had a pretty good 85% hatch rate. I'm using a forced air Hova-bator (not sure what model, big styrofoam thing). The first two days, everything was reading fine. Third day (yesterday), the temperature dropped and then went up to 101 F. I don't think it was there for very...

    Should I abandon incubation halfway through?

    I had two smooth weeks of incubation with some lovely duck eggs, then two days ago my thermostat went haywire! It got cool early in the evening (around 95 F), then spiked (possibly as high as 104 F). I adjusted things as best I could, and planned to get a new thermostat as soon as I could the...

    Various temperatures on different levels of my NEW Sportsman 1502

    I just got my incubator set up yesterday and I decided to use a digital thermometer to check the accuracy of the unit. Well, as the headline states, every shelf gets progressively lower in temperature. The top shelf reads exactly as it should and then every level below drops about 1 degree...

    Are they ready?

    My babies are 5 weeks old and appear fully feathered. It's warm ish here in Tennessee and they are fighting coming in the house by avoiding me and my daughter when we go for them. They are huddling from time to time but aren't looking cold per say. Again if we attempt to grab em they run. Mind...

    Duck embryo survived 118º temps in incubator, help?

    We recently had a huge tragedy with our home made incubator, it somehow managed to reach a temp of 118º and with my 5 pekin embryos in it I was sure they were all dead. Once I saw the temp that high I instantly brought them to door and sat them outside in the cold temp (30º) for a few minutes to...
