OMG! 3 eggs are alive! I can't believe it. They were at 67 degrees and below for almost 2 days. My incubator was still plugged in when the power turned on and I hadn't gotten around to tossing them. When I candled they were completely still and ice cold. Tonight I was going to toss the eggs and heard tapping. All the eggs were colder (a sign of death) but 3 were warmer. I candled and sure enough they are alive! Barely...one has very thing spidery veins and barely moved. 1 has strange blood vessels but moving a little. One looked almost ready to hatch. It was wiggling really well. I hope beyond hope they live. It'd be a miracle. I don't know what the power outtage did to them and why 2 are still so far behind since they were due monday and thats when the power went out. They look like day 18/19. I'm ecstatic.

Our power went out on days 8&9 for the eggies and I kept them warm with a bunch of flashlights jammed into the incubator, out of 15, 2 died, and there's 4 definitely still good, the others I have no idea

Thats awesome! Next time I'lll keep handwarmers in there, just not on the eggs. if they can survive that long at that cold temps then they would survive better at warmer temps
