Oh my freakin' land. I got home from work today (530pm) and go to look in at the incubator/eggs as usual. Well, my Helix reads 89, as it has merrily along thus far (it always kept the temps in my tubs at the proper 86.) Well.... the egg-box Accu-rite read 92!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am really worried. I never anticipated this rise in temps. It was literally overnight that this happened; last nights temp was 87. No biggie there; it has gone from 86-87 all through incubation in the tubs. But how the hell did THIS happen?? Is it maybe because the babies are starting to generate more heat or something as they mature? I never, ever read about this or anything.. now I am ready to have a heart attack I am so upset.. and of course mark, my knight in armor, is gone until probably 1am..
ARGGH! Please give me your opinion here honestly. Are the eggs fried and doomed or is this a minor thing?
I rigged it so that the Helix is at 87. After a few hours, it is steady in tub at 87. I am sick with worry here..
There were no changes in humidity, or heck, even the room temp was the same from yesterday to today.
