I am so frustrated!!!!!!! My eggs are on Day 20, next to them is my little brooder with the quail babies (nice sounds for my eggs to listen to)...and when I checked the temp right before bedtime- it read 108.7.......so, I flipped out, lifted the lid and said OH NO I COOKED THEM!!! My husband, being the ever understanding man that he is, nonchalantly said, "Oh, I thought you meant the live ones." Typical uninvolved partner. He doesn't understand the deep attachment I have developed over the past three weeks with these eggs.
The eggs are blue, its very difficult to see inside. Pretty much all I could see was the air cell. What drives me crazy is - I havent touched the controls on this incubator. Nothing has changed. It just decided to go wacko. Well, the temps changed so much. From 99 to 108 to 97 to 105 to 101 within twenty minutes...so I took the temp gauge from the other incubator in the other room and stuck the probe inside the first incubator. Both probes were at the same spot inside the incubator. One reads 102.7 the other is reading 100.0 I guess they need new batteries.
So, I have no idea what the temps are inside there, or how high they got or if I hard boiled them.
