when should i really start to notice a change when i candle?

and if or when the chicks start to hatch could i lower the temp a bit incase my incubator goes crazy again? or will this affect them to much? thanks

if you have a still air incubator and lets say the temp gets up to 110 does that still mean they all die??? i am still not seeing much of a change and no movement yet on day 7. any thoughts?? thanks

If you get to 110 they are probably going to die. I still wouldn't dump them without cracking at least one to see what is going on.
Mine weren't cooking long enough to see movement I don't think. Not sure if they move around like a human baby. My guess is that they don't.
About the most you might be able to see is the eggs filling up with the dark shadow to where there isn't any clear spots except for the air bubble. Just guessing though since I haven't actually gotten any to the hatch stage.
I don't think you are supposed to turn down the incubator at the end.
You are supposed to close it, stop turning the eggs raise the humidity and don't open it until you have dry chicks.

Scarey isn't it?

Mine went to 110 once and I was told from someone in TX that it gets that hot there all the time and the eggs still hatch. I did get, if I remember correctly, 10 to hatch out of 42. So don't give up.

Here are mine. I hope I didn't already post them.

Mine went to 109.6 for at least a few hours at week 1, the eggs are on day 18 for the chicken eggs today and still moving and growing. The button uail eggs that were in there hatched yesterday. I had 5 hatch the rest didn't, I think it was harder on the buttons then the chickens. Don't give up hope.

i hope for the best. i cant tell if my eggs are growing or not though...? i have a cruddy flashlight which makes it hard to see. should the black dot be around the intire egg or just in a little spot for now until the eggs get later on in the incubator? thanks!
