Overnight my temp got up to 107 and all my little eggs that were due tomorrow or the next day died. I lost 4. I just don't get this incubator. I've had it set on the same setting for over a month now and it just decides to heat up like that for no reason... not the first problem I've had with it but I'm so bummed. I started to gently crack open the eggs to hopefully catch some movement or something... nothing. They were all dead. One was a late quitter but the other 3 were fully formed and ready to hatch. But one was facing the wrong way. Not sure if it could have hatched by itself.
Luckily, I still have about 20 in the incubator that are on target for their respective ages... and one is a set of twins... but man, what a bummer. I was so excited about this bunch because they all moved around so much and looked so healthy. So, last week I got one gosling to hatch, (my first) and another that died in hatch... this week, I lost 4. Praying that next week is better. I only have 2 for next week.
My one gosling is doing well... poor thing has no siblings yet and is getting really attached to me.
