Can a egg go without heat for a day?

I had a 90% hatch rate doing this. And they were shipped eggs, so already compromised. They drove 6 hours with us. How many hours are you traveling?

If they are on day three, they will likely be ok and will suspend. Older eggs will not suspend.

The best thing would have been to not put them into the incubator and start them at the new place

Yeah, my eggs were on day 4 so they were able to stall out. They were delayed in hatching by a day.

Ohhhh, ok. I have done that. Just get a cardboard box, put in some bubble wrap and blankets, put in an egg carton, and put the eggs in it. You don't need to hear them, it's actually good to let them cool. It should be below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so they don't develop wrong. Just try not to let them get jostled or vibrated.

Thanks man ,that put my hopes high.

You will need to figure out a way to keep them warm. The post above was a good one.

If you could arrange it, putting the incubator on your lap and using a power converter to keep it running would be perfect.

Quite a sacrifice for those eggs though!

You’ll lose some most likely, but hopefully you’ll be able to save some. If you can’t take the incubator then maybe get a lunch box that’s meant for warm or cold food to keep the heat in and wrap them well and keep them in your lap so they don’t move around so much.

I kept the hygrometer in rice for almost 3 hrs,the temp was 86 degrees and 54% humidity. Im thinking of storing them in rice ,and try keeping them warm.

Let us know how it works out that way the next person in your shoes knows what to try or what not to try

Best of luck
