2016 Zodiac Hatch-A-Long - Waxing Moon in Fruitful Signs HAL

Date sort Score sort
I set 18 eggs for the waning moon and a barren sign that are due in an hour. The incubator took a spike up to 104.9 which I think is responsible for losses. Only 5 made it to day 19. One chick is out and no other pips.
I regret that the temp spikes ruined my test of the fertile vs. barren sign hatch.
I don't really believe that hatching by the moon will significantly affect hatch rate if at all.
What I believe is, if there is any impact, it is in the vigor of chicks after they hatch.

That stinks but you are setting again soon? Are you going to use a different incubator?

I just set 13 eggs. There are hens on the nest so I may set a couple more today.

There are 15 eggs that I set a week ago (the previous zodiac setting) I think 2 are quitters or never started. It's extremely difficult to see into them.
