Hey guys; I had a customer of mine e-mail me this morning in a tizzy asking me some questions that I simply could not answer. He is not a member of this site, so I thought I would ask you guys. He has a "dry" incubator which holds 6 bins with perlite/vermiculite and eggs in the "medium-sized" rubbermaids in various states of incubation. Last night, he checked his incubator around 8 p.m. and it was dead on at 89 degrees. Somehow in the night, it malfunctioned and was up to almost 98 degrees early this morning before work (around 8 or so). The eggs themselves were temp gunned at between 95-97 degrees. They also all candled strong veins.
My question to you guys is this; we've all read the threads about incubators failing and dropping in temp for hours or days on end without any ill effects to the eggs, but you never hear about a temp spike and the results thereof.
Any advice, input or retelling of a personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
