Help!!, Temp Drop In Incubator!!!

[smchickfarm]

Ok, so I have eggs in the bator, today is day 15!

my homemade incubator has 2 light bulbs in it. Got up this morning about 6:15 and noticed 1 bulb out!

Don't know how long it was out. Temp was down to about 88 degrees! I quickly put a new bulb in and the temp is back up .


Are the eggs ok?????

Never had this happen and again don't know how long the temp was down.

Any advice would be great!

hay they most likely wont hatch if they have been cold for a will

I am hoping since it only got down to 88 and I got it back up, they might make it!

i hope they make it too.

i had a power outage on day one
the temp went down to 86
still hoping they'll be fine

Thanks, kind of worried.

when are yours due to hatch?????

I think they will be fine. They might hatch a little later than expected but they should do well. A low temp for a little while is better than a huge temp spike. Don't give up yet! Good luck!

The inside of the egg stays warm a lot longer than the outside temperature, so hoping it's all gonna be ok!

I did take out an egg to candle it, I guess to try and put my mind at ease. Pretty dark in that little bantam egg!! Nice air pocket though...so hopefully things are ok!
