Broke Brood Early

Date sort Score sort
Howdy, :frow and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Happy :ya to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!

I just recently experienced a catastrophe! The power was unplugged by my dog, for around 14 hours, the temp in the incubators was 84°F. I expected they weren't going to hatch but about half of the eggs did hatch....depends on how close to hatching the egg is when the temperature is that low. I've also had power outages for 3 days and still had chicks hatch. So don't give up hope if you have an incubator to put them in.

Thanks for joining our community! :celebrate
