if set Friday Morning then its day 1
I hear ya!! I lost power twice with the last batch.....
), and I have thwarted my darn hatcher! I set it up again to get ready for the lockdown of the silkie eggs, and it was absolutely fine, until I let my guard down and went to sleep. Thank goodness I was just testing it, or it would have tried to hard boil the silkie eggs for a fourth time! It got up to 117 overnight. So, frustrated, I grabbed a 40 watt bulb and popped it in to see what happened. Now, when I first tried a 40 watt, it couldn't get the temp up past 93 degrees on its own. But, with the help of the incubator being 'preheated' by the 60 watt, it got right up to 99 and stayed there! I've been running it for about 12 hours now and the light has only clicked off twice due to the temp creeping up, and it had to click right back on less than a minute later to maintain the temp. So I think this bulb is actually incapable of really overheating the incubator! Haha! Me 1, incubator 0 (unless you count the times it did manage to overheat, then it's me 1, incubator 3, but still).
I hope that solves you problem, Pyxis.
Well, here are my eight little cuties. I float tested the other five eggs last night, and one definitely looked active, and I couldn't tell for sure on a couple of the others, so I left them all in.
But here is the baby pic of what I have so far. There are two blue (or one black, one blue), two splash, three mottled, and one blue mottled ( my daughter's favorite).
Glad you didn't lose power!! Thats crazy to think that there wer tornatos in Brooklyn.I didn't lose power (), and I have thwarted my darn hatcher!

Good luck with the other eggs
