Transportation of Incubator with eggs

[BELLAPURPLEWOW]

Hello everybody! I am currently working on a science fair project and my topic is, the transportation of an incubator with eggs inside of it already being incubated. Yet I have already done it and know the cause, I still need to get some facts and research. Can anybody spare some information?

How far, and how are you transporting?
I know that @Rose Quartz has done that before, but with ill fortune. :/

Well I have done it to and ended up with late hatching and cripple foot because of the severe humidity drop, I just need internet proof of what could happen...

Oh. Well, when Rose gets on she can tell you about it. She's got more bookish knowledge on the subject.

I think the main trouble would be aircell trouble, malpositioning, and (if its too early in the hatching process,) deformities.
I've heard that should problems arise such as a power outage, you should just open up the bator (can't be that bad since a hen has to get off the nest sometimes. Some people do this on purpose to mimic this) and it will kind of put growth on pause and maybe have less problems?

Thank you! This will definitely help. And I will definitely contact her. Thanks again!

She'll be here in a little bit. She's just been a bit inactive today. Been kinda under the weather, I think.

I have transported eggs, 6 hours total via car, while incubating, I had some damage in the veining, but overall most of the eggs survived. I think it was 8/12 or something like that. What kind of info are you looking for?

Oh thank you for trying to help! Did you have the incubator plugged in when you transported? I didnt. Just curious!

yep it was a 3 hour car drive. Aside from the very bumpy back roads (I had it on my lap so I could kind of buffer it a bit) the only problem I had with having them in the car was when we wanted to stop and go in somewhere to eat. We had to skip it because we couldn't leave the car running.

I moved a cabinet incubator with peafowl eggs set in it. I only moved it a short distance (took minutes) from our Quonset into our porch. We had to unplug it in order to move it. My hatch results actually improved by moving the incubator, but that had to do with the humidity increasing in its new location.
