PEAFOWL EGGS AT RISK! PLEASE HELP!

[supernatureboy]

I have the brinsea mini advance and today is day one of incubating 3 Indian blue peafowl eggs. At first the incubator was running fine. But it started to over heat after about 3 hours. Currently I have it set at 84.9 F bec if I keep it at the normal 99.9 F it reads 110.
On the 84.9 setting the temp is reading 102.2. I have an additional thermometer inside with the eggs that's at around 104.. I don't know what to do at this point. I don't want these eggs to die, I spent almost $40 on them. Please help!

Sounds like your incubator is malfunctioning. I wouldn't keep the eggs in there. 104 degrees is the killing temperature - if the internal temperature of the eggs reaches 104, the embryos start dying. I would find or build a new incubator ASAP and contact Brinsea, your incubator should have a warranty and they should replace it. I really wouldn't keep the eggs in there any longer than you have to. If you have a broody hen, give them to her until you can get a new incubator. Have you calibrated your thermometers? Perhaps they are reading wrong? I would check on that before you do anything else.

I think I just have bad luck with brinsea.. I've had the exact same problem with the same model twice now.. Is there a particular incubator brand you like? Thanks for replying

Lol, actually...Brinsea. I have an octagon eco 20 that I love. I've got some peafowl eggs in it right now.
