    Cold eggs

    I just woke up this morning to find we had a blackout in the night and that the incubator was down to 20deg c when I’m came in again in the morning the eggs were on day 6. I touched the eggs and they are all stone cold 😫 is there any chance they will survive or will they all be dead?
