I had this happen with my BC Marans eggs and Ameraucana eggs.... I ended up with my best hatch ever that time.

 

[DeeThomas]

So there is hope.....?

Sorry that wasnt clear enough... Yes, there is hope. My bator was off for 8 hours and the temp in the bator was in the 70's. All the eggs were cold. I turned the bator on and hoped for the best. I candled them 2 days later and all of the embryos were alive and moving. They hatched out fine and are 5 or 6 weeks old now.

turn it back on and hope for the best, think of it as a broodie getting off the nest and not returning as she should, it happens, and they still have good hatches.

I hope.....

There is hope. We had a power failure for 7 1/2 hours and then it took another 2 hours to get it back to temp. We did have losses but we had a lot hatch. Good hatching vibes headed your way

BTW they are ducks

mine has done the same thing and i still had a decent hatch. whisper into the incubator "sorry, mommy got tied up at a long board meeting with a prospective client."

We have turkeys pipping in there right now so I have hope for your little duckies. We had a staggered hatch with several breeds.
