Try, try again!!!
We said good-bye to our eggs on Tuesday. We believe they just did not develop enough to come out of the shells. But after researching and experimenting more with the incubator we now have discovered that the thermometer used to keep track of the temperature was about 20 degrees off!! Because of this we also did not have the correct humidity. We are very sad that things were not correct in order for the chicks to develop and survive but we are glad we know what went wrong and now we can fix it. We will have a new thermometer that's for sure!
We feel pretty confident that a second chance will be successful! So next week our hope is to get a new batch of eggs! We sure hope this next time is in our favor and the changes we have made to the incubator will help. We will set up the webcam again when it gets close to hatching time!
