How far can one broken egg in an incubator go?

What a mess. Incubator has started.

Good luck!

I got a small incubator as a gift - my friend has the same one and has hatched 2 batches from it. Fri was day 1 I set it at 38.1 c sat am I checked it and it was fine I checked. It an hour ago and it says 48- I’m not sure if the cat stepped on it or what- will increase in temp kill the eggs that early on?

Depends on how long the temps were up. Early on or later on higher temps like that will kill them. If it was only a very short time as in one hour they might have a chance. Did you calibrate your thermometer.

If the Bielefelders can’t take the heat as some have suggested this week will be a good test. 102 is in the forecast.

Had one, did good in our 100 degree weather. Pretty birds.

Good to hear thanks. They were quite playful in the 90’s

I don't know Celsius.

Naw not the weather people. My wall thermometer however needs replaced. 8 degrees off this year. Perhaps the tree bumping it when it crashed into house had something to do with that.
48 degrees Celsius equals 118 Fahrenheit

The rain has arrived here. Eight degrees can be a big difference.
