I'm so sad.

It's day 18 of incubating my eggs, I just went to turn my eggs and then.. BOOOM!! THE TEMPURATURE ON THR INCUBATOR WAS 39.2!!!!! It was supposed to be 37.5 but because of a problem it became to hot. Now my eggs died because of the tempurature. I am so sad.

Welcome to BYC.


Fo you have a calibrated thermometer in you bator?

Do you know how long it was too hot?

Sorry about the incubator malfunction.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

How long was the temp too high? Eggs have large mass and can tolerate quick relatively short fluctuations in temp. If they have all died, I am so sorry. Incubators do have issues sometimes.

Im sorry to hear this, I hope everything turns out to be ok with the little ones. I would be interested in the brand incubator if the site permits, I am currently in the market for an incubator and this info is helpful.

So I think it was hot for 30 or 50 minutes. And the tempurature was 39.2 degree's celcius.
And sadly, all of my 4 eggs died.

So very sorry for such a major loss. I wonder if there is some type of loud thermometer warning device to let you know when the set temperature is far exceeded.

It was Hawthorn brand. Try to buy incubators with a water slot and big spaces. And ask them how to use a incubator first.

Wait I know 39.2 is far exceeded, But I set it to 37.5 Most people or breeders set it to that temmpurater.
