Just a quick update to say that the incubator has been running way too hot all last night and today and tonight. It is running close to 40degrees and should be at 37.7 degrees. I have it set at the lowest temp and am unable to get it any lower.
Small fluctuations like this are fine but over an extended period of time, it kills the fertile eggs.
If I could get the temp down, I would have continued. However, I can't get it down because the incubator is faulty. I was sold a dud.
Thus, I have decided to cut my losses and turn it off. Why waste all the electrictiy when I know that the eggs are cooked...........& I don't want to risk half grown chicks dying from being too hot.
I am sitting here fighting back tears of sadness for my little eggs that I hoped would turn into little chicks.
Goodnight & thanks for your interest.
