Incubator lost power- Day 11

[CloneFly]

Hello all... I have some Coturnix quail eggs incubating that are on Day 11 now... I woke up this morning to find that my incubator had turned off (looks like a tripped circut) and the eggs cold. After starting back up the incubator, I candled and saw veining... though one egg (the youngest at day 6) looks to be fading... is there any hope? This is my 2nd time incubating- my last batch a few years back died the day before their hatch date so I've been too scared to try again...

They might spring back, it's hard to say.

Coturnix are fairly hardy but I'd still expect a lower hatch rate, although that depends largely on the incubator you use. Just remember if at first you don't succeed... I'd start by eliminating the breaker problem for good. Either a bigger amp breaker or less load on that circuit.

Eggs can be cold up to 12 hrs.
