Set eggs today Saturday 2/22 - anyone else?

Got the bator working again. Concerned about the eggs though, they got pretty hot under the heat lamp so not sure if they'll be okay. I had to get the bator fixed and when I came back they felt quite hot to touch. Will this kill them?, it was only for a few hours.

How many days are they? By day 7 to 10 you should be able to tell if they're developing or not. Hoping they make it. Fingers crossed for you!

I'm ready to pull my hair out!
I wish I could find a hatch a long that is talking!
I know the beginning days are slow, but I wish I could find an ACTIVE thread that had this same set date!
Surely some of you want to talk more than this...

My setup is pretty boring... just a bought 48 egg incubator with 7 red dorking eggs testing fertility before I sell some or offer them for swap..but I have. 50 plus chicks in brooders 5 black silkies, 5ee bantam,10 cochin bantam, 5 brahma bantamn 15 slw, 10 meaties, 2 older red dorkings going that are almost feathered but stupid weather I can't even dream about putting them out. My rabbit waterers and chicken ones had to be thawed out twice in 12 hours. But I don't have dust issues my chicks are in my basement boiler heat no air movement to blow dust around.

I forgot to add I have duck eggs coming to add to this batch even though the chicks will finish 2 weeks before them.

I have hovabators I have 3 eggs on day 24 in lock down but doubt they will make it even though there is movement, because there is too much clear space I have 35 eggs due to go into lock down today but I am going to wait because all of my hatches have gone overdue and these do not look ready for lockdown I will keep an eye on them. I put 45 eggs into one of my bators on 2-22 there is a mixture of 18 that are all purebreds with some polish, frizzle cochins, silkies and some other fun breeds (these were shipped 15 out of 18 have badly detached air cells one with a bad crack/dent I repaired), and then there are a dozen rhodebar (also shipped and about half with detached air cells and one with a crack around the middle once again repaired) and then the remaining eggs are my BYMs. I have 3 chicks we hatched last time and then I bought 11 orpington chicks one blue one black and the rest are splashes all are out of a lavender Roo so I am excited to cross the pullets back to one of my lavender Roos. How is everyone else doing with there eggs any body else have anything else getting close to hatching?

Well we are all set and hope to have a good hatch come Mar.15. We are hatching our own eggs, and some of my sister-in-laws. Will be fun to see what we get!!
I have learned that the thermostat and hygrometer that are on my incubator are only references. I have two inside to monitor accuracy, one standard and one digital.

I actually did not have any dark Brown eggs set on day 22 which is not normal for me I am planning on filling every nook and cranny for the easter hatch this friday also probably going to up my heat a bit and see if I can get my eggs to hatch on time.
