Madchook Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Woke up this morning to a tripped fuse box- The wyadottes are about day 16 and I set all my other beautiful eggs yesterday Both incubators were 18 degrees -leccy hen stone cold, so must have been a few hours.... I know they are more sensitive near the beginning -do you think much will have been happening after 12 hrs? I am hoping not And will candle the dottes later to see if they are still alive, bit worried about them though.... I can't believe it, we haven't had out fuses go for well over a yr and a half(when I discovered it was a dodgy tumble drier that didn't even need to be on to trip it )...so dh is blaming the Suro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 That is a shame. I think I'd be inclined not to open the incubator to candle just yet, so as not to let any more heat out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 My incy power cable blew when we were out for a couple of hours and then the time to get a new one and they still hatched - good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
