I am so glad I finally figured out my login info again. I need a bit of help. I am incubating eggs using the "cheat sheet" that was posted somewhere here. So it is dry, the eggs have set for 1 week. A couple of days into it one of my ducks abandoned her nest. They are to hatch the 1st. I added them to the incubator. I candled them all today and now two of the five have already internally pipped and I haven't gotten the other incubator to settle yet. What do I do? I figure if I give the hatching bator attention every couple of hours I may be able to work out these details while they are hatching without opening anything. I thought it was doing well. I've had it running for 2 days in anticipation of coming lock down and it was at 99. This AM it was at 104. I think the closet got too warm so I've opened the door. I'm trying to keep the house at 75. Everytime the temp in the house drops more then 3 degrees we loose a degree on the bators that are in the closet. It bugs me. There is no heat vent in the closet.
Would it be better to leave them where they are, raise the humidity and turn off the turner? Since they've internally pipped maybe they only have two days?
Thanks for the help.
