Incuabtor stuck on really high heat

[turkeybirdpecky]

Ive done 3 hatches so far in my deluxe little giant. I bought hatching eggs only to find that the heat is stuck arou d 105 and i cant set my eggs. What can i do!? Is there a diy part i can put in there for now (theyre going to send me a free part that is supposed to fix it but my eggs!)

Do you have a second incubator?

Do you have a friend with an incubator or broody hens?

Get a new incubator, the thing is busted, mine did the same thing!

Make sure you get a tracking number to know that it shipped. Do not accept "label created", that means it hasn't been mailed. Call them back in the morning. Is it under warranty? I know this isn't your greatest concern right now but getting the eggs in a reliable incubator.
If we didn't have eggs in ours, and you lived somewhat close, I would lend it to you.
Check the Articles and search for DIY incubator, then see what you find and if you can make it in a couple of days.

In case this happens to someone else...

i moved it to a cooler location (no windows), it seemed stable. I set my eggs thinking they will just be wasted otherwise and maybe i can manually manage the heat by adjusting the plastic windows as needed (note to self just wait for the replacement next time..)
It fluxuated from 93 all the way to 105. Something. I thought for sure they were toast. A little over a week later little giants free replacement arrived, i candled a few thinking i wouldnt find anythong, but i did. So i just set them up in the new one and left them, and i had 26 chicks hatch unassisted. I was shocked.
