So I am kinda bummed.
ok I have 7 eggs incubating and they have been wonderful.
until now.
they were laid on 7/02 and since then I have had 2 power outages.
the first one only lasted a couple hours and everything looked great. but then last Saturday we had another and the power was out almost ALL DAY.
so on monday I glanced at them and noticed a couple starting to dent. they were only 21 days so it was a lil early for that.
well I left them alone and I looked in at them today and noticed that there were a couple moulding.![]()
so I open it up and it smelled a lil but there are 3 of the seven that have begun to mould.
So I had Susan come over with a flashlight so I could candle them (the kids killed the batteries in mine) and the good news is that the other 4 do have veins. they are also a lil more sturdy (if that even makes sense). I did not see veins in 2 of the 3 mouldy ones but maybe in the 3rd.
I left them all in the box so we will see what happens.
I have not been opening the box to check on them. the humidity and temps are all great. I think it was the sudden drop in temps. It got to about 74 degrees in there before the power came back on.
Jeff is getting a generator for next season though!
anywho...just wanted to share.
