12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

Status
Not open for further replies.
I had 32 marans eggs incubating in February. Then the freak snow storm hit Texas. Around day 14. We were out of power for 36 hours, the temps in the house were in the 30s, I just threw a blanket over them in hopes it would come back on sooner than it did. From time to time my fat dog would lay on top of the blanket but other than that i didn't know what else to do, we lost water at the same time too so no hot water bottles :/. I had 14 eggs that still had life in them & made it to lock down. Of those 14, 11 hatched. The incubator showed 2 days behind on its count down when the power actually came back on, sure enough hatch day was right on time with the incubator, 2 days behind. I think if we were to have another power outage while incubating I'd just add the same amount of hours (maybe 1 or to more) to the hatch time.
Wow! Thank you so much! I never knew that eggs could last so long without heat!
