Pretty much as the title says. My last batch of eggs had another small temp spike a few days ago; now the babies, which have all hatched, appear to have some damage from it.
They all seem to lack muscle control and coordination. Something like a spider wobble. Are these babies doomed to have this for the rest of their lives, or is there a chance they might grow out of it now that they've hatched?
I am not a happy camper about this. First a wicked spike ruined my long awaited fire clutch, now the blasted homemade incubator ruins a pied clutch as well.
Well, I think it goes without saying one way or another I will be getting a reliable incubator before breeding starts again. It will be a cold day in the Sahara before another clutch of mine goes into this cheap piece of offal my husband built.
If the damage was done during the formation of the neurological system, it would be permanent. I am unsure what the timeline for development during incubation is, so I can't say whether it's reversible or not.
On what day did the spike happen and how high of a spike was it?
