They are all dead!!No chicks hatching now. Dead!!

[keesmom]

How long was it at that temperature? Are you positive they're all dead?

My LG also did the same thing, spiked to 112 as they began to rock and peep. I moved them to another incubator, squeezing them around the turner while I replaced the burned out board. I moved them back as they began to pip. All 8 hatched (7 out of 8 were pullets too!). I hope you have similar luck.

I am so sorry for your incubator problems... and the loss of your chicks. I had similar problems and lost a bunch of hatching eggs that I had ordered on eBay. I only got 3 chicks out of 24 eggs, as a result.

Can you post a link or tell me what model you plan to buy? I've been intending to purchase a good electric thermostat, but I didn't know what to get. The hot water thermostat I was using resulted in way too much variation in temperature.

Same thing happened to me on Christmas. I was gone for 8 hours. Went up to nearly 110 for some reason. I'm at day 21 and no action. I am sure I have lost them.........
I am very sorry, you had far more to lose than I did. It breaks the heart.
