The bad news: The 'bator door was "accidentally left ajar one day last week" [day 12, 13, or 14] for an unknown number of hours
Has anyone had something like this happen but still got a partial hatch??
I was SOOO looking forward to babies
If I have to buy a 'bator the budget would be very limited -- probably around $100 to $150 max.
Would that get a decent incubator?
Does anyone want to make a suggestion re: Brand?
What is the maximum time I would have to get fertile eggs into an incubator [from date laid]?
Would I need to keep them in an ice chest in the car on the way home? [I came with hand and puppy warmers to transport peeps for 12 hours in a portable brooder, so left the ice chest home!]
