Hatch Along - Setting eggs June 7th.....anyone else?

[shardean]

Well crap! My cat or dog must have unplugged the bator by accident. I know when I went o bed at 1 am it was fine, but I just looked at it and the temp was 74 degrees and the humidity was 81%. We plugged it back in...I hope it didn't ruin everything.

It might delay them a little...but I have read about people loosing power for 12-30 hours and still had a great hatch rate!

Well that's good news =) I don't think it was off for very long actually, and it didn't take much time to get back to normal. I hope you are right.

I have the same one. My incubator thermometer is at 102 as well but at egg level it is lower. I put my outdoor thermometer / hydrometer unit in the basket during testing and got it to be at 99.5. With eggs and auto turning it fluctuates, but I have 22 eggs in there and the gauge is now on its side on one side of the basket so I think that is why. I range from 99.2 up to 100.2 with my humidity around 45%. I might end up putting it in the middle when I candle, but I am trying not to obsess about it too much. Momma hens get up and rotate right so the temp isn't always the same ><
