If you have a power failure for sure do not open the bator as it can't recover. Power failures of up to 24 hours may only delay your hatch if you leave the humidity intact in the bator and keep it away from drafts so close the door to that room even. Do not however block the air from circulating into the bator via the vents, the eggs still need to exchange air, so wrapping the incubator in extra insulation is not a good idea.

Towards the end of incubation the developed chick can create some heat it's self so you may not even see a delay in your hatch date. Them hatching out in the power outage would be more of a problem due to them being chilled by being wet.

What if I don't have an egg turner? I STILL don't open the bator for the last five days??

in my "power failure country", I decided to use candle as source of heat. how about it? may I open the door even if it have reached the 20th day if power failure happen to light a candle?

Every time you "OPEN" the bator....you lose humidity levels, and temp. levels...and it has to "try" to readjust all over again.....thats why they say dont open it until it says too.

so if I could return the temp and humidity back in second, it's allowed to open the bator even in 18-21 days of incubation, don't I?
