One night over the weekend our classroom incubator spiked to a temperature of 117 degrees. I knew this had to be a bad sign, so on Monday I decided to candle all of the eggs for the first time and I could not find any good signs of life. While some things I have read said that there was a chance that the embryos could survive a spike in temperature for a short amount of time, I think it just went way too high. Since we were only a week into our project, I decided to get rid of the eggs today and I have ordered new eggs from the hatchery so that we can start our project over next week. The kids seem to understand and were happy when I told them that we could start the project over with a new set of eggs. I am hoping this time that we do not have another incident like this!
