Just the one another had pipped and died. I didn't even see that it had pipped till I emptied the hatcher. I gave the chick away so he has buddies. I just want to make clear for anyone reading this, I had hatcher issues and could not hold temps. This was in no way a reflection on Hot2Pot's...
I had one lonely little bitty Dark Brahma.... what to do with one chick???? I will keep the other in the hatcher and keep tinkering with the temps. I candled them today and so no life in any others.... several looked like quiters when I put them in so I may toss them. One had water in the air...
Not even a pip yet.... But I have hope still. I think they will be late too. So many little things.... I will check them again Wednesday and if still nothing I may give up.... I really needed those barred rocks......
My hatcher is still not acting right. The temps dropped after I put the eggs in. It has hovered at 95. Yesterday it got it to 97 and today I got to 99 for a few hours. I am afraid to move it too much I don't want to cook them again. We will see. Tomorrow is hatch day....
Thank you both. I am ok.... it was just a malfunction that was out of my control. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure it does not happen again. I have some digital thermostats ordered with a cooling option so if the temps get to high again it can activate a fan to cool it off.
I can feel your pain on that one.... I had 18 babies hatch 2 were not dry so I opted to leave them all in the hatcher..... came in the next morning.... ALL DEAD!!!!! the hatcher was 113* no survivors. I had 12 leghorn/EE crosses (layer flock) and 4 lav split/2 lav Ameraucanas. From now on...
