No temp problems the entire time- we had 6 hatch 1 day early and 2 more piped and one zipped. Then, all of a sudden the temp skyrockets to 122! At least that is what the termometer said. It also said the humidity was 99% so I'm not really buying it, but it was hot in there according to the little cheapo glass thermometer so we HAD to open the lid. We scooped out the 3 chicks that were in there- sprayed the remaining eggs with water a couple times and turned the thermostat down. I really didn't expect much this morning but lo and behold the 3 that are piped/sipped were alive! However, they've been in the same stage since yesterday at this time. What should I do? ? ?
 
I'm wondering that myself. I sprayed the eggs and after a few hours, wouldn't the humidity come back up and soften the membrane? I checked them a bit ago and they are still alive- I think I'll give them until I get home from work in 5 hours and try to make a decision then. The last thing I want to do is interfere but will if I have to. I'm a scared!
