Temp too low first week...now what?

[Jenifer72]

After candling my eggs at 7days( Yesterday) none of the eggs appeared to be doing anything yet! I was using a mercury thermometer and it was reading 99.5. After I seen no growth I purchased 2 thermometers today and it looks like my thermometer had been 10 degrees off (too low) I've never had this happen or even a bad hatch...are they ruined now? What should I do??

If they have done nothing, maybe you should just bump the temp up where it needs to be, and try again. It may be no harm was done, kind of like storing the eggs. Good luck.

If they started to develop, that may be a problem if the temp was too low for too long. I, too, hope it works.
