My incubator got cold 3 days before the hatch. Will they still hatch? How can I tell if they are sti

When you open the bator heat and humidity escape it's normal. Don't turn the knob up as that wil
Cause the temp to spike high. It will come back up once the lid is left on. Raising it higher isn't a good option. You need to leave it stable and make sure your humidity is up for their hatch.

Will do. The temp was still low an hour after I removed the dead eggs, so I think taking that much mass out of the incubator caused the heat to go down. I added more water, and turned it up a teeny bit. Monitoring it often now to make sure it's stable. I will leave it shut from here on out! Thanks for your input! I'm a nervous mama, and any information I get is reassuring!

Update: The eggs have not yet hatched, but they are still alive! It's officially 4 days past the hatch date. I don't know what to think, but I will keep on incubating them so long as they show life.
