Electricity was out

[Bantymama]

My eggs are on day 15 and the electricity was out for an hour last night. Will it have hurt my eggs in the bators. I wrapped towels around them to help keep the heat in and the lowest it got was 80 degrees.

Yes, I'm sure they'll be ok. As the eggs cool, incubation slows down, but as they warm up again, incubation resumes. So, they could possibly hatch a little late, but doubtfully since the change was so small.

Thanks I could not sleep last night i was so worried. They should hatch on Mothers day. They are Mille Fluers. I have 7 egss in there and Ruby laid 8 more and has been setting on them for about 5 days. I'll let you know what happens.

The should be just fine. Just think about in nature, the hen has to get up sometimes to eat and such.
I know how much worry it can cause though. I've got 16 eggs in mine (15 bantam and 1 bantam/standard mix) and i'm constantly checking everything.
