The ones born chocolate get a lot of lacing:

OMG I am going to cry. My Dumb husband unplugged my incubator this morning to iron his pants, he didn't even need to there was another plug and I just now noticed it 7 hours later!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am trying not to hate him right now.

Is there any hope left for my eggs, the temp was at 70 degrees and humidity was at 77% !!!!!!

It was left from about 10:30am- 4:50 Pm.

All is not lost. Surely it was an honest mistake. I had a 2 day power failure with 200 plus eggs in the cabinet and still had bunches hatch. Don't give up.

Don't kill him. Then you'll have a mess to clean up, too. And again, cold is better than hot. This early in the game it shouldn't affect it too much.

I'm not going to kill him, but I am seriously thinking about not speaking to him for at least an hour.

Uggh, he's trying to prove he can do things with out me and he just makes a bigger mess! I love him dearly, but he's one of those space cadet academic types and just needs to stick with his strengths, of which ironing clothes is not one of them.. I sure hope they are ok. I opened the vent and plugged them back in. I only have 17 eggs in there, so I hope at least half will hatch at this point.
