EGGS QUESTION ?

[tanya1974]

Really could do with some advice from the experts .... i have reared babys before ( once) with eggs that were given to me. Now with alot of reasurch and money spent i have got my first clutch due from my own breeders. There 63 days in , really plump and white all looks well , but i bought a new incubator at the begginning so i did things right . so on looking at the temps yeasterday i decided to put a porbe in and found that instead of 29 d the reading was around 27 and has been all this time. so my question is will this hurt the embryo,s . The thing is i candled one to chek and i could even see the stripes on is tail moving around. so it has mssivelty upset me . i have now left them alone . so again will the low temp hurt them and what are the signs of late emryo death.

Please please help x

Incubating at 80 degrees will not harm them at all. Some could hatch at even lower temps., and even if an incubator were to lose power for a short time and go below 70 it wouldn't necessarily do any harm.
