I have a few questions...
I had a friend bring me a few eggs to try hatching with since I don't have a roo -predators took out my 2 beautiful roosters last year. From the time they were laid, until I got them in the incubator was about 4-5 hours in a vehicle, and that night the temps were about 35 degrees. Do you think that might have killed hatching chances -providing all else goes right? I did let the egg warm up before going into incubator. If that wasn't enough, over night, that same night after I went to bed, the temp went up to 107 with 62% humidity, I hope it was only for a few hours, 6 max. Did I completely destroy any chances of hatching anything?? I want to buy some nice stock eggs, and before I go spending any kind of money, I want to get the hatching down.
When can I tell if I have something growing inside the egg?
I have plans in mind for a home-built incubator with more precise temperature control.
BTW- You guys have all been great answering my questions... Thanks!
