Wrong temperature, any chances of hatching?

[FoodKillah]

For some reason i incubated the eggs in the wrong temperature for 15 days now. Are there any chances of survivors? There are just 3 eggs, the incubator is homemade out of cardboard box, nothing special.

The temperature i set up the thermostat was wrong, 103 to 104 f

What do you think?

Have you candled them?

If it has been that high for that long chances are slim to none, but you never know till you candle, stranger things have happened. Eggs can go through some minor spikes either way up or down for short periods of time without any problems as happens in nature when the broody goes off the nest for food water and some excercise.

Probably not. Over 103 long term is bad.

You still have a chance... My toddler turned mine up and it was a week before I relized they were at 106 and I had 80% hatch rate. He also ate chunks out of the incubator... I guess he was mad that he couldn't get it open since I taped it shut... So just candle them and if they still are alive keep them in at the correct temp... They may hatch a day or two early....

I wouldn't give up - if you bator was cardboard - maybe it lost heat quickly!! Lets hope so. Let us know what happens

 

[There a chick...]

You might as well candle them, what do you have to lose?

Keep going! Don't pull the plug...

There is a possibility that your thermometers/thermostat settings were off too... so the temps may not have actually been that high as indicated.

Who knows?

Good luck!

Agreed. Keep going. You never really know till you try.
