Are they doomed???

[luvchicks8]

All of a sudden my incubator temp dropped to 90 degrees I have week old eggs in there??? Will they all die?

How long was it that low?
And I think they should be okay, as long as their internal heat stayed up.

If the dip wasn't too long you should be fine. Just watch that temp and praying you'll have a wonderful hatch! Nancy

It takes quite awhile for the internal egg temp to change dramatically. Your eggs will be fine.

Ahh, they should be fine then

30 minutes isn't that long, mine dropped to 90-95 yesterday, and was like that for.... Probably a few hours.
but i got the temps back up, and now I have some wiggles, and a chirp
