February Hatch-A-Long

[gimmie birdies]

I am day 14. I am always happy at day 14 because the last week always seems faster than the early part.

Eggs can be 12 hr with out heat and still make it.

It would be more like 24hrs, so pushing it. I’ll candle in the morning and see if there is any movement. Hoping for some to pull through.

Sad day over here. I by accident didn’t completely press through the menu on my Brinsea when I turned the turner and cooling function off last night in preparation for lockdown and it stopped heating Eggs were cold tonight when I went to candle them. No warnings went off and the fan didn’t stop, so I had no clue this was happening during the day. I turned the incubator back on in the hopes that maybe a few will pull through (room temp is 21.5 Celsius). It now says there was a power outage? Which I know isn’t the case. I had it in a nook where I couldn’t read the menu without leaning in and using the flashlight on my phone as I wanted to keep the, dark, so I guess I won’t ever be doing that again I’ve started a thread so others know to not make the same mistake as I did.

I will keep you all posted.

I am so sorry this happened.
You might want to contact Brinsea and see if they have anything to offer in the way of explanation. They have a rep who monitors this site.

Yes, I will try to do that. I wouldn’t have thought that being in the menu would suspend the function of the incubator as I’m sure that’s happened before to people (but I couldn’t find any threads about it here). Fingers crossed that at least some will pull through. It’s devastating to know that a simple error like this can cost you your hatch....

How many eggs were in lockdown? The hatch rates will be affected but if you have enough eggs in there some should pull through.

If they don't...well we've all had some hard lessons. That the dark side of hatching. You're in good company to grieve and vent.

l only have six as I’m using a Brinsea mini and one was infertile, but I think I saw a tiny bit of movement in one that I candled just now. Will check tomorrow morning when they’ve all warmed up and hopefully I will have good news

That promising! Some chicks are just determined to make it despite the odds. Hopefully you've got some of those in there.
