Ok, I lucked into 18 fertilized eggs and in my eagerness to get them incubating I overlooked that little instruction on my (newly borrowed) forced air hover-bator (with turner!). With the eggs already inside (hindsight 20/20, yes) I turned it on and the temperature quickly rose to 110. It took our little frazzled brain-dead selves at least 30 minutes to get the temperature back down to 100. Now I'm worried that I sterilized all those little mixed breed naken necks and I'll sit here for three weeks only to find out that I was right. It's causing an astounding amount of anxiety, seeing as how six months ago I would have just looked at these as a good carton of eggs to crack for some pancakes and cookies. Now I'm emotionally invested. Have I killd them all? Can anyone give me hope (or mercifully blunt honesty so I can just start again). Should I wait and candle at one week?
