    We just got our one day old chicks home and had a heat lamp all set up- and the power went out on our street! What else can we do for them? We are boiling water on the gas stove and going to put it in a jar with towels,m around it, any other ideas?

    Quail stories! POWER OUTAGE😱

    Today there was a huge power outage in my area. It went from 7:30am to 3:15pm! At first I wasn’t worried, and put towels over my quail incubator, which had a day old quail baby, a quail egg that was hatching, one pipped egg and two externally pipped eggs. All seemed well, but then disaster...

    Help! My incubator got switched off for about an hour on day 28!

    This morning, on day 28 of my runner duck eggs incubation the power was off for around an hour. When I noticed, they felt cold (its not an insulated incubator so there was no heat in there). Have they died? :( Or do I still have hope? :) No pips seen yet either. Thank you (can't believe I got...

    4am Coffee Run For Baby Chicks

    On Wednesday night a bad storm knocked the power out for about 16 hours. Even though it's pretty warm, my 8 day old baby chicks were getting cold and I wasn't able to hold them all night. So, being the unresourceful city girl that I am despite living in the country for years, I did what I know...

    GQF 12 Volt Battery Power Adapter?

    Had a late morning power outage and was so glad to have a portable generator to power the incubators (full of goose eggs 😱). The outage ultimately only lasted a couple of hours, but you never know... Am wondering if anyone has tried using the 12 volt battery power adapter for the GQF Hova-Bator...

    Emu egg incubation... 1 month in... POWER CUT :(

    Hi guys, so I don’t really know what I’m hoping to achieve with this post, other than (at the very least) to utilise my current situation as an informative experiment for others to refer to, should they find themselves in a similar situation to me right now. So it is my first time trying a...

    Long Power Outage

    I have 7 eggs in my incubator that were supposed to hatch 1-2 days ago. We are in middle Tennessee and lost power for almost 3 days while my eggs were on day 18. I immediately wrapped my incubator in towels but after the 2nd day there was no more heat in there and the temperature was 45-55°...

    Hatching eggs using your body??

    So I don’t know how many of you watch A Chick Called Albert on youtube, but I have watched him for years. In one of his most recent videos, he did something that I’m sure many of us have wondered about...he hatched a chick using his body temperature. Yep! He strapped a little homemade...

    A Message of Hope

    Long depressing backstory: I had a bad first hatch last Monday. It turns out our ailing Wyandotte cockerel was infertile, and all but two out of the dozen eggs I sat happened to be Wyandottes. The two bantam Buckeye eggs that I had hatched, but they were weak from the start. One had a splay...

    Lost power for unknown amount of time about 12-15 hours into incubation

    The power strip the incubator was plugged into lost power for up to 9 hours after the eggs were in there for 12 hours already; the incubator has been running on that strip for about 3 weeks already and it happened while I was asleep so I wasn't expecting this at all and don't know how long it...

    Power outage day 6 incubation???

    Ok...I ordered 2 dozen shipped silkie eggs. I was concerned about viability due to the fact that one box came smashed in on one side and the other carton was upside down in the box. Last night was night 6 and I decided to candle just 2 eggs from each batch to see if any were developing, all four...

    Incubator lost power and turner--does that change lockdown day??

    I'm a teacher, and I keep my incubator in my classroom. Yesterday, our school lost power from about 1pm to about 10pm. I was out of town, so my principal went into the school around 3pm to put warm water bottles next to and on top of the incubator and cover everything with a blanket. The...

    Drawn out hatch day

    When I candled my eggs before lockdown they looked somewhat smaller than i expected them to be. Now it's day 21 and not a bit of action. I kinda figured it would be delayed cuz of the rollercoaster these buggers have been through (temperature problems throughout, power outage, etc. See...

    Question? INCUBATOR DURING POWER OUTAGE :(

    A short time ago, a drunk driver took out a power pole on our street early one morning. It knocked out our power feed. The utility crews replaced the pole after the rescue and the police did their stuff. The whole ordeal lasted about 3 hours. We had 2 Incubator going. One was on day 15 and one...
