I feel like I'm seriously gonna die. I woke up, looked at my incubator, and the lid was popped off to the left three inches. The eggs are cold, though I know it's the embryo that matters, but I JUST noticed. Not like that last night at 3:00 am, it's 10 am now.... So, who thinks they're dead? I'll candle in a couple hours when the egg temp regulates.

:hit :he :th


Any ideas on how the lid got open? I have hope for the eggies, I would try and get them warmed up.
 
So I got a leghorn from a local feed store in the spring. But, she has green earlobes? Does this mean she will lay green eggs?


Hmm. It might not be a Leghorn. My guess is that she's a White Plymoth Rock. Leghorns don't have the green earlobes. The green is just a tinting of white, when it gets thin.
 
I mean, the lid was open, so it was cold in there, but the temp said 72 when I looked at it.
I had mine drop down to 78 my last hatch for god knows how long and some still hatched with all my other problems so I think there is still a chance

Ok thanks. So what color eggs should I expect her to lay?
 
Maybe it just slowed their heart rates down, like when people fall into cold water. And like fish who winter over under the frozen ponds?


I know that a broody hen can stay off the eggs for up to half an hour, and I think this is the same. I'm guessing they are dead, but I have hope.


How far along are they?
