Chilled incubator.

Maybe i should have posted here, not in emergency. Seems like an emergency...

This is the morning of day six. Last night i neglected to close a window in the hatch room, and this morning the temp in incubator was 96°f.
Its not My hatch! Just incubating in shared bldng
Have I Killed their chics??
I dont know how long they were low temp a matter of hours though. I dont think they went any lower than 96.
Any idea the results?

Day 6 is touchy, but more than likely they are fine. It's more improtant during the first days but 96 degrees isn't that bad for a short time. I would tell them what happened and tell them to candle them in like 3-4 days to make sure they are still alive and moving. LIke I siad it's more improtant during the first days, but I once found an egg in the middle of the coop on the broody's side. I thought I should probably candle it, but I never did and assumed it was just layed there for no reason. I set it on the table planning to come back to it but forgot about it and went camping. I came back three days later and cracked the egg only to find an alive baby chick in the egg at about day 16. It managed to survive 3 days on the kitchen table at room tempature. I have also had many survive power outages in which the incubator dropped pretty low for quite a few hours.
