when I left the incubator my temp was perfect and checked on it three hours later to turn the eggs and the temp was 103 to 104. Have I injured the eggs or worse, Killed them? I'm really freaking out because I had healthy growing eggs.

I have one pipped shell in my incubator of 5 eggs and another one wiggling, I used to have eight but three werent fertilized. I can't believe it's happening because this is the first time I have hatched chicks on my own! the excitement is killing me! Since it's day 21 and the chick didn't pip...

I have a couple eggs I'm incubating and I love to watch them through the plastic of the incubator with a flashlight over the top. I don't shine the flashlight directly over the eggs but its a really strong flashlight. would this be harmful to the chicks inside? Day 20 btw!

I have two wiggling eggs and I have been chirping to them quite a bit for the last two days. They get really excited and chirp back and squirm. Am I causing them to not get enough rest. Will they be able to hatch now or did I cause them to run out of energy, day 19 btw.

It is currently day 19, and I have one egg that's wiggling so much he turns himself over, and he doesn't stop especially when he's excited when I talk to him or chirp. Does movement in the egg determine how strong the chick will be? One more question, he wiggles and chirps a lot, does that mean...

My light sussex egg has been wiggling non stop from day 17. whenever I go to check on it, its always wiggling from side to side. It hasn't pipped yet but I think I hear chirping so it may have pipped internally. It seems to never tire, why is it wiggling so much, does it need help? can it get...

Chicks just started wiggling at day 17, and 18. I feel a bit paranoid because Im hearing chirping everywhere even nowhere near the chicks. I guess I'm really excited. But anyways is day 17 too early for them to be wiggling, are they going to hatch early. If so what are the side effects and what...
