chilled eggs- survivability

[pokey]

i got home today and we are having those severe storms roll through, so of course the storm had to knock off the power.

well the bator temp was at 72 and i dont know for how long( power was on atleast til 10-12 i found it at 530) the eggs were at day 14 and alive. anyone think there is still hope?

well this far into incubation the embryos should start producing heat so they could probably stay warm for no longer than 45 minutes but hey its worth a shot

They may hatch a little late but I can just about guarantee you they'll be fine. Let us know when they hatch, k??

They will probably be okay I had a mallard duck get killed on the road and it took me 2 days to find her nest and I still got half to hatch. I could not believe it.

same thing happened to me on a load of marans eggs. they were due the tenth and eight are pipped today. They didn't even miss a day for getting chilled. Mine got down to 81 but they were probably like that for half a day, and it was about the same point of development. Happened a week or so ago. Just hang in there and be sure to post a celebratory post when they hatch!

AHA!!! I hear PEEPPING. Someone is OUT!

my power has went off during hatching twice I think and it didn't mess up the hatchability of the eggs

Chicken eggs are remarkably resilient.
Good luck

I would leave them in and candle them in the next day or two.
