Will there be any survivor of 56 C (132.8 F)

[NaomiSarah]

*hugs* I doubt your chicks will make it, when I had a 110 spike some lived for a couple days but all of them died eventually. HUGS. Don't feel bad! I've wrecked so many hatches I've lost count, and I sure wish I was kidding about that.

One thing I've learned about incubating - if you're at all unsure of your temperature situation, don't walk away. I've toasted too many eggs by just walking away from an adjustment for half an hour or so.

If you don't have a thermostat and need to regulate the temperature, you can get adjustable regulators for reptile lamps at the pet store - they're not that expensive, but they hold a steady temp for you - just be sure to be double-checking that the reptile regulator says the same temp as your thermometer does. Basically, you just plug your light into the regulator and plug the regulator into the wall, and set the temperature gauge at egg-top level. It'll turn the light on and off for you if the temperature raises or lowers beyond what you have it set for.

The OP is in Indonesia... I doubt they have 'pet stores' there.... Or rather, I would be very surprised if they did...

@BeccaB00 : thank you

the eggs were very hot when I touched them

but I'm glad to see some movement, I'd like to candle again tonight to make sure, I hope I won't need to toss more eggs

@TyrannosaurusChix : I think you mean reading right, and yes, it's reading right, I've incubate with 30% success (power outage everyday) last time with this thermohygro.

@my4ladies : yes, it's home made, made from polystyrene and a light bulb with fitting inside (still air bator) although I put a fan inside in case I need to throw out hot air.

@NaomiSarah: thank you for your sharing and information

. but, pet store here is very rare to be found. beside, pet store here only focusing in selling dog, cat and fish food and accessories.

@GAchick : yes, we have pet store here. unfortunately, pet store here is rare and only sell some more popular pet accessories such as for dog,cat and fish, none for reptile or chicken.

here is the pics the first time I set it (19th july)

today (about 10 ten minutes ago) it's 28 july 12:48 PM now here.

note the space is now much spacious

because I've tossed many enough of them (I didn't even count it)

Ladies and gentlemen

,

I'm proud to say that there are still some survivor of this catastrophe

today 3 chicks have been hatched from eggs.

1 seems to be struggling but with no certainty. I hope he survive

thank you for all your comments/messages/informations/helps.

Wow this is amazing, I was just reading your story, and feeling so very sad for you. But I am so happy for you now!! This is amazing, best of luck to you and your hatch!

Congrats, that is amazing! Nothing like a miracle to bring back faith in life. Those chickies have got a will to live!

 

[mulia24]

Thank you so much...

first time I got that temp "fried". I also shocked, that high temp made me tossed out 18 eggs

, 2 are infertile and have been tossed earlier before that catastrophe. totally 20 eggs didn't made their ways.

now, 4 have hatched, left 6 not yet hatched.

hope they hatched to reduce my loss number..

from 30 --> 2 infertile, 18 Killed in action

, 4 hatched, 6 status unknown.

I hope there will be no disable / unable to use limb / lose limb / die young between these survivors.

they've passed tough 3 weeks.

Awesome! My make-shift, last minute incubator is what I used for my first hatch. The first morning I woke up to temps 120 at one end, and 110 at the other. I started breaking them open from the hot end up to the cooler, (still hot) 110 temp. Most were not even fertile, one stopped growing (got cooked), one I killed upon opening it :'( and the other hatched and is an alive, healthy little silkie!! I call her my miracle chick (she had also experienced lots of temperature swings/fluctuations while incubating). Everytime I candle it though, I saw movement. I was almost certain from the beginning that she wouldn't make it, and if she did, that she would not hatch. And if she did HATCH, that she would have deformities or die shortly after. BUT NOPE!!! I think the little buggers can take more than what is let on.

And re: your 132.8 temp and my original question (whether your 'bator was homemade or not). I was hoping that maybe that high temp was only in one location like mine was. Maybe that's so, and those were the ones that didn't make it. Maybe the survivors weren't exposed to that high of a temp.

Either way, Congratulations on your little miracles!!!! I bet your not so mad at your mom anymore, right?

 

[mulia24]

thank you my4ladies, that's sure a miracle baby.

I feel sorry for those that killed.

I believe some are stronger than the other.

mine is a home made bator. this is my second time hatch

I don't think so, because as you can see, the hygrometer located in the other side of bator that we could consider it as one of the (don't know the english

) 'most far' place from the lamp(heat source) inside the bator) and those who survived are located divided each other, not from the same place, beside I've put a cardboard between egg and lamp to prevent overheating egg nearby the lamp.

thank you and of course I'm not too mad anymore since some of them survived, beside, she's my mom.

the last result is

2 Infertile

18 Killed in action

1 didn't hatch at all (I presume he's died)

9 hatch

this is among the last chicks that hatched yesterday

one of the babies

all in brooder now
