Ducks Eggs Incubation

[Just Hatch duck]

Hi, I've put some eggs in my incubator and they are about 15 days into the fertility, but yesterday somehow my chord was unplugged and they were unheated for about 10 hours at around 27 degrees, and this is also an automatic turner so would this of messed up the process? can someone help me?

They will most likely be okay Eggs can withstand cooling much better than overheating. I once had an egg sit outside for over 24 hours after a broody abandoned it with no heat. I put it in my incubator and it hatched just fine. Your eggs may be a little late due to the time they went without heat, but they will probably still hatch fine. Have you candled since they lost heat to check to make sure they are okay?

I agree with Pyxis. They should be ok.

I had a 2-day power outage in the middle of a duck hatch, day 14 to 16. Some didn't make it, but several did. Just a few hours shouldn't cause too much of a problem. Just keep it in mind when hatch time comes, it could possibly slightly delay them.

Good luck!
