INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[saraem]

Hey all,

So far so good with our classroom incubation (Brinsea Mini Advance, locally-sourced Ameraucana eggs, one clear and one quitter ~day 6 so we have 5 left.) We candled yesterday early Day 18 and all 5 still looked great. We prepared for lockdown EXCEPT I forgot to turn off the automatic cooling feature

It goes off first thing in the morning so I could easily get there Monday to stop it, but it will go off on Day 18 and 19 over the weekend (we set eggs in the afternoon, so Day 18 runs Fri around 2pm-Sat around 2pm.

Do I need to freak out about this and try to get access to the school over the weekend? Or will it be ok for the eggs to cool for an hour on Day 18/19 if Monday morning I rush in and turn it off before it goes off Day 20/21?

Kind of worried here...

@kwhites634 I hope it is not leaky and that you get some help with your project today.

With only half a roof I'd say it's pretty leaky. Not likely that's going to change today; using power tools when it's raining ain't real bright.

I have a spiral glazed ham thawing for tonight. Any suggestions of what you would do? I am bored with the usual.

I love ham leftovers-pea and bean soup, breakfast casserole & really good sandwiches!

Good morning everyone. I finally caught up, but I am almost finished with breakfast and it is time to head back outside as soon as I decide which project I don't really want to do today and get on it. Yesterday I was off and did a vet trip, blood draw, coop construction as I am linking two coops for the winter, cleaned a coop, and stained the coop and my goat plaything I built a couple of weeks ago. By the time I finished chores and caught up you were all asleep except Bennie.
I hope you all have great and productive days, and that you feel better Bennie.

Hi Dax.....

Hi!
I do not think it would be a big deal. Embryos at this stage are pretty tough, and some even say lowered temp at lockdown makes the resulting chicks thrive a bit more.

I meant the clouds you were trying to duck tape, not your building.

I solemnly swear I will not lift a shovel today!!!!!
