Wanted to post this since there may be others who have a thermal camera. I can’t believe I haven’t thought of using it for pulling dead eggs out of an incubator until today. The dead eggs will have a noticeable difference in thermal temps compared to the live ones.
The pic attached is of a batch of quail eggs on day 12. The dead eggs appear on a very different thermal color. Same should be true for chicken eggs.
There was a horrid smell coming from what was obviously dead eggs mixed in with the live ones incubating. So I used my thermal camera in video mode to make sure I selected the dead eggs out of the incubator.
The thermal cameras come as independent units or as attachable units to a iPhone or Android phone. The one I’m using is a Seek Thermal Compact Pro XR for iPhone.
