Am I the only one who "goes broody" when there are eggs in the incubator?

Yes.

Probably.

No guarantees on this site though, so maybe.

But definitely probably yes.

Awwwww they're so cute for real though I could stare at developing eggs all day lol

Go Drax!!!

I don’t incubate eggs but the odd time I have let broodies hatch eggs. I prefer gifting them with day old chickies sex as Pullets - I already have 4 Roos here! Don’t need more boys.

But I brood those eggs right along with mama hen!

Lost power this morning at 6 am (high winds)!

Temps are holding steady, thanks to my Jackery! And triple blanket power! So glad I invested in this thing a few years ago.

I think it's safe to give an update, now. Temp has been holding quite steady at 99.7.

Day 7 (3/13) – Friday the 13th

• 5:20 AM:
- Power goes out. The incubator begins to lose heat rapidly in the Michigan morning air.

• 6:05 AM:
- Switched power over to the Jackery battery.
- Wrapped the unit in a triple-blanket "nest" and restricted the vent to 1/3. Temp hit a low of 95.3°F; humidity dropped to 45%.

• 6:30 AM:
- Temperature begins a steady climb back toward the safe zone. Jackery is pulling roughly 26W as the heater works overtime.
- Humidity drops to 42.9%, added cool water as there was no heat.

• 9:30 AM – Power is back!
- Incubator is plugged back into the wall. Humidity is recovered to 61.4% and temp is holding at 99.2°F.

• 11:20 AM
- Removed one blanket and set vent to 1/2
- Noted a slight "stair-step" temperature drop as the unit adjusted to the ambient room air, but it leveled off safely at 99.3°F.
- Raised the room temp to 86°

• 3:30 PM
- Reached a perfect, high-stability state of 99.8°F and 67.8% humidity. The "thermal momentum" from the recovery is now working in the embryos' favor.

• 4:15 PM
- Humidity naturally settled to 60.2% while temperature held at 100.0°F.

• 7:00 PM
- The day ends with a beautiful flat line on the Govee chart. Final readings: 99.7°F and 61.7% humidity and remained throughout the rest of the night.
