Well that celebration was short lived.... the buff chick is dead.

I dont know what happened, other than it was cooked. I haven't been able to see the glass thermometer in my incubator because the windows on my LG were fogged because of the humidity. So i went in and my humidity had dropped a few points, so I decided to grab the sponge to re-wet it. So I took it out quickly, wet it, and stuck it back in.

Only when i was putting it back in I could clearly see my thermometer which was at 120 degrees. I have NO IDEA how that happened. It was at 99.5 for 24 hours before I put the eggs in there and I haven't touched it.

Needless to say, I just killed 1 buff, 3 blue/splash, and 3 Serama eggs.

I am so disappointed I could sell all the birds right now... its a complete deflation.

Oh man, I am terribly sorry to hear that. Don't give up though.

Well I just figured out what happened... the thermostate on the LG must have shorted out... It doesn't even come on now, so it must have been running at an infinite temperature.

How old is your LG?

Very Sorry, Don't give up though. You will do find and have a great hatch next try.
