Hi!

This is my first attempt at hatching eggs myself and I used a Brinsea 10 incubator, what I didn't realise was that I needed to have the temp at 39 for a still air incubator not 37.5 which I've had them at constantly.

My eggs have now been in the incubator for 23 days with no sign of piping and I wondered if there is still a chance they might hatch or should I cut my losses and throw the eggs away?

Any advice would be great thank you!

Hi I thought the octagon 10 was forced air? but have a feeling the instructions are different not sure why. I use an Octagon 20 with good results.
If the temp is slightly too low what can happen, is the eggs take a little longer to "cook" so leave for a couple more days. Have you been able to candle the eggs? :)
