    Incubator Problems

    Came home from vacation for a week to find that my incubator was sitting at 95+ degrees and probably had been that way all week. The fan in it went out and for some reason the thermostat being set on 89 degrees didn't stop it from going that high (the fan itself is at 140 degrees measured with temp gun). I lowered the temp to 80 degrees on the stat to hopefully regulate it until I can get fan replaced.

    Have eggs that were due to hatch on about 6/5 and 6/11 that when put temp gun on them were sitting at about 93 degrees.

    What are the chances they will hatch normally at this point?

    First off I am sorry that this happened
    as to your questions really depends on how long they were hot. they may just hatch early or you may have lost some or have deformities or they could all be fine and hatch on time. no one can guess at how it will go
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    I hope they are good! When they hatch, can you give us information on how it turned out?
