The Imposible Happened!

[annanicole18]

So i dont know if my thermometer doesnt work right but somehow i have a pip. There was a yard sale in the town and i locked my dogs in their kennel in the room with my incubator full of eggs. not thinking hot day plus doggie heat equals really hot eggs. i got home and my temp was 113!!! i was devestated since it was a week from hatch day and knowing that there was no way that my eggs could have survived but i left the light on for them and continued through the motions like they would hatch. by some miracle i have a pip now hopefully this lil one makes it out alive and convinces a buddy to hatch so i dont have a lonely chick. These little buggers are fighters and as long as you dont drop them they will apparently survive. good hatching vibes that i get two

I had a 112 spike, and right now 2 chicks are out and 6 more pipping.

Best of luck! Hope it's just a thermometer issue since if the thermostat is working right, it shouldn't have gotten over ambient temp in the room!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Here's hoping for more than one.

Best of luck with your hatching!

I had a nasty temperature spike over 110 for at least a couple hours (heat wave, warmest room in the house etc.) and just about gave up. Just before I turned the bator off and threw the eggs out I thought I should have one last look at them to make sure and they were pipping! 2 days early but I ended up with 5 out of 6 hatching successfully (6th died after pipping).
