I dug out the incubator this morning to get it ready for the eggs. I plugged it in, turned it on and walked away for a few minutes. When I walked back into the kitchen the darn thing was smoldering and the styraphome (sp?) was melting. I called Bowmans and ordered a new one. It will be here Monday. I have the worse case of chick fever EVER!! I think it's b/c I didn't hatch last year and now I have a four year old to enjoy it with me. I just can't wait.
Bummer on the incubator. What are you going to be incubating? Let us know when you start the new eggs. jo
OMG....That is so scary! I guess you are lucky that it didn't burn the house down. What model incubator was it and how old was it? I've got an old Brower that belonged to my husband's grandpa plugged in right now. Because it was so old I was scared to even plug it up and test it out. My DH was just saying that he hopes I don't burn the house down.
It was a Little Giant and it was VERY old. I got it second hand five years ago so god know how old it really is. I want to hatch some of my Yokohama eggs and some EE.
