You are not going to believe this !

I am emarrassed to even tell the story because I messed up so badly.
I set eggs.................
In my defense, I became very ill and was pretty much out of it for a few weeks
I checked the inc about three times a day.......one morning the temp
jumped to 109.......did not think it had been for an extended period of time so cooled it down
as quickly as I could and said a little prayer.but really thought they were cooked.
Checked the calender to determine lock down date to discover I had not documented it.
Crap....now really sure they were gone.....................
Did lock down anyway, just in case........................
Had a temp spike to 106............during lock down.....
Lock down 5 days ago..............was going to toss the eggs last night and decided to wait till
morning so I would not have a rotten egg smell in the house...
ARE YOU GUESSING WHERE i AM GOING?????????
Thought I heard a chick this morning but I have little one outside and decided it must be them.
Went to empty the incubator and sure enough.......two beautiful french BBCM chicks looking up at me....
and pips all over the place..............
Does any on this make sence.I screwed everything up and they came into the world anyway..................
Mother Nature wins again......

Awesome Toni!!! I love that they still did so well.

About the pics, did you check preview to see if you could see them?

 

[justtoni44]

Newlyweds,
Can you even believe it . I did everything wrong.I had three themometers that all read a different temp.
And those little buggers are just looking up at me......4 in zip at this time....

That's great! I'm glad they made it.

I have the opposite luck, I do everything right and then they die.

 

[justtoni44]

I've had that experience also Ariel.
Keep trying
