Special experiment!

That's always the way.
Someone will try something extraordinarily out of the tried and true norms and then they don't report back when the experiment fails.
There was someone trying to incubate eggs without a constant heat source. Just microwaving heat packs around the clock. They claimed all was going well and then never reported the results.

I've read a couple threads on bra incubation....one went thru all the good and bad and actually had a hatch, can't remember which tho, been a couple years.

I think the bra hatches can work if it is near the end of incubation but temperature swings of just a couple degrees earlier in incubation will doom them. Human body temp at 98.6 is too low for good incubation and that would be if the eggs were inserted into an orifice. Just touching the skin, temp would be much lower.
