Ahhh this is driving me mad!

Aghhh!! My little chicks were due today and nothing nothing nothing! Day 18 I woke up to a 108 degree incubator, do you think that cooked my poor little eggs? BTW this is my first hatch.

How long was it that high? Give them a couple more days before giving up.

I've still got nothing. I can't see any pips.

I'm expecting to see some tomorrow.

Aww, well as long as it wasn't at that temp for longer than an hour you should be fine

I have my fingers and toes crossed for your wee ones.
And my incubator went stupid today, and dropped down to 95, and wouldn't go any higher than that, so now I have my heat lamp pointed at it... Due to that though, I expect my wee ones to be a day or so late.

Thank you! I have no idea how long it was that high. I woke up to that temp so I suppose anywhere from an hr to 6 hrs. I wont give up, I may start drinking though!! The anxiety is about to do me in. I had no idea I would get so wrapped up in this. I am absolutely obsessed with this new hobby. Very unexpected.

AAAAHHHHH! Day 20 and I'm not going to make it! Will something just HAPPEN already!

<pant, pant> I need a paper bag. I'm gonna hyperventilate. Stoopid eggs. Why on earth did I ever do this?

Today is only day 20, but when I got home from work there were 2 little babies waiting for me. I checked about 30 minutes ago and the count is up to 7! On day 20!!

There were at least 3 times that I found the temps at 102 during the 20 days. I guess that's why they are hatching a little early. I can't wait to see what I find in the morning. Who am I trying to kid, I will be up half the night watching to see if any more have hatched.

This is my first time to hatch and I can already see I am going to be in trouble.
