Kathy,
I think it was from the house heat. I have the incubator in the spare bedroom and the baseboard heat wraps around the room. I usually have it in the basement but having the broken arm I thought it would be easier in the spare room, but wasn't good on the eggs. So no matter where in the spare room I placed it there was heat and I did not think about that til after the first egg pipped.

Why did the heat effect the incubator?

Mine has an automatic heat and humidity control on it does that make any difference. I am making a test Bach with some guinia eggs.

Digital thermostats will keep the incubator at a constant temp because it is all electric. If you have a wafer it is a mechanical thermostat that relies on a constant room temperature.

Say you were my DW and you decided to let some good fresh air in the house and left the window open all night. And that the room temp went down twenty degrees and the hatch rate dropped to twenty percent. And you decided to upgrade your incubator to a digital model because it promotes sanity and is a really good idea...

Just sayin'

Guinea eggs are the easiest eggs i ever hatched, when they start hatching my incubator looks like it is popping corn LOL

I have no problems hatching duck or goose eggs in my bator and she has a nice one , so i bet she will be fine with it.
