We had air conditioning break and I had trouble with temps, one day went high to 102 just for a short time (early on about day 5) then we had a cool streak and no heat as ac and heat are one so then had some cold temps down to 92 so I finally insulated it til the cool ended, finally put it in my closet for a more consistent temp 24 hours. So at least 2 days of cool bator temp. Question! Do I add a few days as today is day 18 but I had so many cool temps I'm thinking they may be delayed. Should I delay taking out egg turner? Increasing humidity? Its a LG bator. Thanks!
 
I don't think I would wait cause they could start piping
and you would have to open it. I'm no expert like some on
here but I don't think it will hurt to go into lockdown.
There are some very smart people on here someone will
come along and help. Good luck with your hatch
 
Does your LG have a fan? If so then lockdown is probably a good idea. If it is still air (like my LG) your temps should have been about 102F all along, and you might want to wait because your fuzzy butts might make a late entrance.

Good luck!
 
I'd also stop the turning on day 18, they may be a day or so late but I would not delay taking the turner out.
 
Thanks all!

Started pipping today! One out already
