Hey all. I Recently loaned my incubator to my sisters school and gave them some eggs to hatch out. Well today was hatch day and out of 11 eggs five had hatched and another 1 was working on it. That was about 8:00 A.M. About 10:30 A.M. all the chicks were dead. Found out that before my sister had gotten to school someone had opened the bator up and as a result the temperature had dropped and when she arrived it was 85 degrees in it. So like a good caretaker she turned the knob up on the bator. Little did they know that the temp continued to rise and peaked at 110 degrees killing all of the chicks. I feel so sorry for my little sister because she thought she was doing good and if I know the kids she goes to school with they will never let her hear the end of it.
she did the best she could!
That is so sad. Poor chickies, poor kids, and your poor sister. Totally understandable mistake for a novice to make, so I wouldn't blame your sister at all.
