Help My power went out and my incubator temperature drop to 70 degrees do you think they will be ok

A small act on my part, but with powerful promise behind it. I just hope you get better soon.

I saw you guys quoted some scripture yesterday. This is my personal favorite-it gets me through a lot of tough days...
Matthew 6:25-34New International Version (NIV)

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Welcome!
How long was it out? A short drop to 70*F should not hurt them. If longer, you may end up with reduced hatch rates.

All my bulb are PL or LED, no logic to use 100W bulb for getting 100W when you can get 100W from 11W bulb!

Yup.... I've got most of my lights changed to LED.... My electric bill is still almost $400 a month.

Nope not me.

that Ice was over 3 feet thick

Welcome!

Yeah better cold spike than hot spike..... I had my incubator get unplugged overnight once and had a 9/10 hatching success with ducks...

Well autocorrect had me taking a toilet to the vet instead of a pullet.
I edit a lot because I am always mobile, and the reply box is too hard to check. So I often fix it after I can see it in the thread.

I do the same thing. I always catch my mistakes AFTER I hit reply lol

I find it hard to read as well and during the day the mobile is all I have access to. Problem is it's already been quoted before I can edit.

Yep, the one night on the game thread, I said, hubby is calling me to go to bed except it got corrected to "go to breed". That got quoted so fast before I had time to fix it lol.
