I am nearing the end of my first hatch in a homemade incubator. Everything went just swell until I started lockdown (Day 15), I had the controller mounted through the wall (The box is 1 1/2" insulation foam board and about 20" x 20" inside to fit my turner) and on day 16, the controller built too much moisture and began to short and ran the internal hear to 110F for about a half hour.
I quickly moved the eggs to a cheap hard plastic style incubator but it would not come above 80F. I had them in there for about 2 hours while I took apart the homemade incubator, and dried the controller. Then I moved them back.
Im curious now because I saw a lot of movement from at least half the eggs right up until the heat spike. There was only one moving while they were in the second incubator and I haven't spotted any movement since I put them back in the original incubator.
It's day 17 now and I'm looking for reassurance that I may have not cooked or overstressed my hatch...
