This morning I woke up to my incubator unplugged. I don't know how it happened or how long it had been unplugged. Has anyone had this happen to them and have any of the eggs hatch?

Oh NO! That's awful!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that your eggs hatch alright!

Depends on how far along they are in the incubation process, and how cool they got. The further along they are, the less harmful a short period of cooling is. All you can really do is plug it back in and hope for the best. They may be delayed in hatching, so give them a few extra days before calling them quits.

Polish mix.

Not sure who the roo was.

Cute!

I just moved seven in to lock down

Good Luck!

So many cute fuzzbutts being hatched!!! I love SPRING!!!!

I read a post a short while back about a Halloween HAL?? Are eggs normally incubated in the fall???

Sure, some people hatch all year long. Some people don't have this thing we call winter.

Yes, it has happened to others, Yes eggs can hatch, they may be delayed.

My eggciting lockdown picture. Just waiting for Sunday and practicing uploading pictures! 7 guinea eggs, all looking good. I take the pictures mostly to document the dates things happen. Helpful when trying to remember what you did the prior year.

Our broody hen has kicked 2 eggs out of the nest. One yesterday and one today.

I candled the one I found today and it had great veins and I could see the chick but It was not moving, only swishing around when I rotated the egg.
