URGENT: Hatching Emergency!

[Lilalienangel]

I originally ordered 6 eggs. I got 18. I had to quickly make an incubator. I got a good fan and a thermostat I used round short mason jars on the bottom to maintain humidity. I used a styrofoam egg carton attached to a the thing you turn to close blinds as a manual auto turner. The big problem I had was over heating. I ended up with 2 fans. One that was on all the time and one that only kicked on when it got hot plus so many holes ended up being made. My first batch of eggs all died. My 2nd ended up an overabundance (when I got my 18 eggs). Try again.. You'll get your babies.

Also, if you go this way use a better cooler than I could get. An Omaha Steak cooler perhaps. Also, you can't see it in the pics but make small holes in the bottom of the egg carton. I learned this the hard way. Air is good

@HayHayComet I was hoping for the best but it just wasn't meant to happen. You sure did your best and put in an absolute hero's effort! If nothing else, what this chick taught you can be applied to other hatches, so it's little life is not in vain. And depending on your view of how the world works, it's little soul may already be in another egg next up to hatch!
