Join my hatching journey

[Tiana's chickens]

I also took some notes from when I candled the eggs earlier today.
Some of the notes don't make sense but made sense to me at the time also sorry about the messy handwriting, I was trying to do it as quickly as possible so the eggs didn't go cold

Numbers 1-6 are the araucanas, 7-12 are leghorns, 13 and 14 are the Wyandotte mixes.
I left number 2 in the incubator just incase, all the clear ones were taken out and not fertile

Here's the candling pictures I promised:

And here's the frying pan. The temperature has been really stable today although I've been having issues with the connection slipping out of it for the last few days. Hopefully it'll hold on until the end of the hatch

Maybe turn your fry pan sideways and prop cord against the wall so it doesn't fall out.

Thank you, I've tired doing a lot of things to keep it connected. it's something about the actual connections inside of it making it flicker on and off I might have to buy a new frying pan hehe

Just a quick update, all fertile eggs are still alive

You were right, day 6 was when you asked, it's now day 7

Is the plate behaving today?

Is the plate behaving today?

Not exactly, I had to get up so many times in the night it was ridiculous
First it was too cold, I kept turning it up but the temperature wouldn't go up all night, then when I got up this morning it spiked. I think it just wasn't connecting properly in the night and then decided to connect without warning this morning.
So now the temperature is 39 C (102.2 Fahrenheit) which is still a bit high but the temperature won't drop no matter what so I'll just have to live with that for a few hours.
The frying pan has done this so many times the last few days I'm surprised they are still alive

Can't you take the lid off for a little bit to cool the pan a little?

Yeah, I have a few times but as soon as lid goes back on because its getting too cold it goes back to 39
I think the temperature is finally dropping a bit more now without me touching it, it's on 38.7
