>>How often were you opening the box toward the end? 10 eggs in a shoebox sized tub, I would be opening the box every 3 or 4 days after 5 or 6 weeks, then every couple of days the last week or so. By that point you have living breathing critters that do consume fair amount of O2.

>>Having said that, my hypothesis for full term dead-in-eggs has long been related to the extra heat generated during the last couple of weeks of development. That many eggs, in that small a space could heat well into the mid 90s if the incubator was running at 89-90. Thats the main reason I advocated place the temp probe in the egg box to the other guy...




ahh..you beat us to it
That's what i was thinking as soon as i read it was ten eggs.That's alot of mass heating up inside a little eggbox(,which is already surrounded by the 89F incubator.).It had to of spiked up fairly high.



Sorry you lost them..
