Without complaining too much, our power got cut off today (we've been paying them every 1st of the month for 3 years, btw... it got cut off for not having a current ph number - WHY didn't we get anything in the mail is beyond me!) anyway, I candled the eggs yesterday & things looked good. Tonight... Not good very little to no movement. I'm just hoping that I caught them at the wrong time & the ones that were moving yesterday are still alive. I have a bad feeling that this hatch is gonna suck big time

Crazy.
I hope they make it.
Is your power back on yet? If not I would not open the incubator as it will lose heat.
And I would wrap it with blankets to help insulate it.

Thanks! Yes it came back on... 4 hours later! I put a heavy blanket over it & my husband's hunting jacket with that Mylar material inside. It helped a lot, just don't think the ones on the outside of the tray are going to make it. The ones in the middle look ok. Still sucks!

I just finished day one of my upcoming hatch. They are due the 14th/15th.

Put in my 15 eggs for my first try at incubating. I've had two hatches with broodies, but none of my girls were co-operating, so I borrowed an incubator and decided to give it a go. We should have chicks (hopefully) late April 16th or early 17th- just in time for Easter.
I have a mixed bag- 2 BCM x Cuckoo Marans, 4 Black Amerucanas (my hens and roo are from a breeder friend), 4 Production Reds x Black Amerucana, 2 Buff Brahams x Black Amerucana, 3 Buff Orpington x Black Amerucana (hoping for an olive egger out of these). Like I said, a mixed bag- hoping for the best and as few roos as possible.
