Eggs in tomorrow 3/9 :)

We had a power outage yesterday and the incubator temp dropped to 79.8. I am so disappointed, I had the incubator running steady at 99.6 and 40% for 5 weeks prior to receiving my eggs, eggs went in last Friday. Would you all recommend leaving the eggs in the incubator or tossing them? I am leaning toward leaving them to see what will happen but if you think it is hopeless I would like to know.

I set 6 red star x barred rock eggs on the 7th, and 12 more from the same chickens on the 8th! so excited, its my first time hatching!!

I have always thought that if the temp drooped then if it wasn't for very long everything would be ok. Even if it was for a bit it might just make the hatch day a day or too later becasue of slower development. I would keep going and just wait and see.

I would definitely keep going. Just give them a week and candle....then you'll know! Don't give up yet!

Thanks Audrey and NYRIR! I am not sure how long the power was out but I think I will just leave them and see. Maybe will try candling at day 10, since this is my first hatch I really don't know what to expect. So I ask a lot of questions. I'm sure grateful to everyone on this forum for all the help.
