What they all said. You may get some hatches, as that is not such a drastic change in the egg.

Don't panic. Someone unplugged my incubator on day 16 once and I had 7 nicely developing eggs in there. It was unplugged long enough to drop the temp to 70 degrees so it had to be hours. Plugged it back in and on day 21 out of 7 eggs I had 7 hatch. A temp drop of only that degree for a few hours will probably make no difference. One of my incubators actually dropped slightly lower than that today with eggs on day 10 and when I candled about an hour ago all were still moving. Temp drops are more tolerable than temp spikes.

they will be fine i had mine go out a month ago temp dropped to 65 degrees for at least 4 hours and i hatched 6 out of 12 eggs not bad for shipped eggs...
