Going to lockdown tonight. Trouble with incubator holding temp. So sensitive.

Switching to plan B. Old styrofoam lockdown incubator has bit the dust. Temps won’t hold. Will be hatching in the incubator that I use for the first 18 days. Don’t really want to as I had some others to start. The rooster for which isn’t around anymore. Oh well too many chickens anyways.
Lockdown has started.

Did i mention i had one egg and it hatched? I think Connie is calling it Blabbermouth!

Hope they hatch for you! My furnace died on me & had extremely dry condition s due to Arctic blast & no furnace. My RCom incubator has temp & humidity control, but under extreme condition s it couldn't keep up. None of my guinea eggs made it, but two chicken eggs did.
