Any assistance would be appreciated...
My very "EXCITED" husband bought a foam incubator at a garage sale, it has no instructions or identifying marks on it for me to call a manufacturer and ask for instructions.
Not realizing there might be any issues with it, I bought fertile eggs, and started them... The first six days the temperature was fairly stable, then disaster struck... The temperature spiked over night, and we found it to be 105 in the am... We corrected the temperature, and it seemed to be stable for a few days, then it dropped to 89... The next few days we were not able to stabilize the temperature, and unfortunately, my eggs did not survive... Most appear to have started developing, but did not make it past that first week.
Can anyone give me any advice how to fix the incubator? and stabilize the temperature for another try...
Thank-you.
(Second question. I also borrowed a small 6 egg incubator. Those eggs were started in the afternoon on 11/17 when do I stop turning them? I think 4-5 of them look like they might) hatch for me.
