Cold eggs

[Graciesing2us]

Just checked my eggs and they are really cold, the incubator must have broken. Should I remove the eggs do you think. Two were due tomorrow

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Can you get them back up to temperature?
When were the others due to hatch?

 

[Chick-N-Fun]

Oh boy! How long were the eggs in there without heat???? I would candle them and see if there is any movement and go from there. The more time without heat and appropriate humidity, the more the chance of a successful hatch is compromised.
I’m so sorry.
Do you have a broody or another incubator???

Therr
There's no movement I'm afraid, not got another incubator. Considering buying some new hens, mine don't seem to get broody

You can't make a hen go broody on your time schedule.
Did you answer my 2 questions in post #2?

The incubator isnt a good one I'm afraid but I'll give them a few more days x

Wait. Are these Nasty Jeff's offspring?

You still didn't answer my questions. Were you able to get the temperature up again?
At what day are all the eggs in the incubator?

 

[Graciesing2us]

Sorry the first 2are at day 23 and the other two are at day 20. The incubators inbuilt thermometer reads 38 but it doesn't feel warm in there any more There's no reading for humidity it doesn't have it.

Yes, but I'm training him now after reading an article about the pecking order, I've been chasing him back and holding him down to show him who's boss. It's working so far
