Woke up to give the baby a bottle when I went to sleep the incubator was set at 98.5 now it's at 97.5 grrr. Just put it up to 99.0 am going to watch it for half an hour before I go back to sleep. Goodness I hope five hours at that temp didn't ruin them :-(

oh no! I hope not too! My temp drop of 84 killed half of Harmony serama when I unplugged to candle and forgot to plug back, that was about 3 hours, so you could be ok!

Oh I thought on day 19 you turn it to 98.5 crud. It is going between 99.3 and 98.7 I think I will leave it alone but I will bring it up if you think thats better.

I have read about lowering the temperature for hatching as well, seems to cause less malpositions (sometimes causing a crook In the neck) and reduce difficulty hatching.
