Hello.
It's winters here. I always check my incubator before I go to sleep but I was unwell last night so I didn't check. Today in morning at 10 am I checked my incubator I found it unplugged ( probably by my son).
To my horror temp had dropped to 60 F. And it's day 13 for chicken and day 19 for turkey eggs.

Do i have any hope?
 
Yes, you do! :hugs Not only did the internal temperature of the eggs not go down that far, but they can survive even more severe hiccups.
They will likely hatch late, but that happens on occasion anyway.
I hope you’re feeling better!

Thanks for the ray of hope. I'm actually feeling better
 
Good luck. If the outage was less than overnight, it shouldn't delay the hatch. At least not to the extent of length of time that power was off. What delays a hatch is when the temperature is low throughout incubation.

I watched this video about McMurray hatchery and it showed them turning off the heat at a certain point. I was like what the heck?! They said at some point they generate their own heat. I have never tried it but that seems crazy. There is always hope. ;)
