day 20 temp increased to 100.5 - UPDATE!!!! THEY ARE HATCHING

[opihiman911]

I have been having a very good incubation going on with this current batch of jumbo barred rock eggs. For the last 19 days the temps have been very stable between 99.3 & 99.7 in a water wiggler. After I removed them from the turner and increased the humidity, I checked my temps and they stayed stable at 99.4-99.6. Today is day 20 and I woke up and checked the temp and it was 100.5!!! I've checked it over the last couple hours and it has stayed 100.3-100.5
Why has the temp suddenly changed to the upside? In past hatches I have had the temps drop when I removed the turner and had to bump them up a little.
I just checked the bator again and I have 1 egg that has pipped and another is rocking

. The temp is 100.4, humidity 77%.
Should I try and lower the temps? or just let it go since they are starting to hatch?

Aloha,
Cory

Leave the temps. I think its the babies body temps or something. The temps are fine. I had a great hatch with the temp being over 100.5

Do not mess with your temps.....

I left them alone, its been 100.4-6 Two of the chicks are out in less then an hour. I have 3 more pipping.
WOOHOO!!!!!!!

This is the first hatch that happens during the day when I'm home. Get to watch it start to finish. Out of 9 growing eggs on day 18, So far 2 are out, 3 pipped, 1 with a hairline crack that is rocking......50% so far, better that any other mailed batched I've done.
Where's the camera, DD better not have it with her......I'll get some pics somehow

eeeee
