help should I just leave well enough alone.

[KinderKar]

H i I am in need of some advice. Day 18 of my hatch would have fallen on a weekend and I could not get into the school to take them out of the turner. So the farm I got the eggs from said to just remove them from the turner on the 17th day and they will be okay which I though was Friday. Well I did not realize that due to the time of day I originally put them in the incubator Friday was really the 16th day. Today when I came into work I noticed that the temp was around 97 or so due to a cold spell over night. The whole time is has consistently run at 100-101. I raised the temp and its now at 98/99 I was wondering if I should just keep making sure the bottom is filled with water, and leave well enough alone. Or should I Turn them once more since yesterday was really day 18. Any help would be appreciated.

Add water do not turn, they may be a day or two late hatching due to the temp drop

I would turn them once then go for bator lockdown.

Or don't turn them--- They will probably be fine.

I would leave them alone. Good luck on the hatch and don't forget to keep us updated.

Leave them be.

I would bet they will be fine. I wouldn't worry about the temp either. My bator temp changes through out the incubation and I hatched 3 of 5 eggs. That's good odds. hang in there!!!

I just wanted to offer and encouraging word!!

I have had power outages during my last two hatches on day 17 when the temp dropped to 97 with a 100% hatch and living rate (also no developmental problems)

and also on day 19 where the temp droped to about 90 and I had 10 out of 11 eggs hatch.

THERE IS HOPE!!!:
