how long can incubator be turned off and eggs still hatch

[lone oak]

i have a cabinet incubator and when the turner is turned off so is the heater. i know fri night it was heating, i know this am it wasnt. house hasnt been under 80 and i know they must have held their heat for awhile but not seeing movement in most tonight. i am sooo upset, raiseing three year old that isnt even mine and already going crazy about all that, now the three year old knows how to turn off my incubator. so anyway i am just wondering what everyone thinks, i have goose eggs of varrying dates from due to hatch to just put in on the 10th. i have turkey eggs started on 9th, chicken started on 5th, duck eggs due now threw just started on 10th, the duck and goose are all started about three or four days apart so wide ages going with them and guinea started on 4th and 10th. so how many do you guys think are dead from no heat for more than 24 hours and less than 48, considering bator was completely full and surely that helped hold some heat for a little while. temp said had only dropped to 97, but eggs felt cooler so i dont know, for all i know he has been flipping that switch on and off. so what do ya think, candel often and or just throw them all out and start over or give them up to a extra week to hatch. i just dont know.

Hard to say. I have had pretty good hatches with a 24 hour outage but there were some losses. Another member had a 44 hour outage an I don't think any hatched.

guess being turned off hasnt hurt them too much out of 20 expected to hatch today all but three are pipped. hopeing it didnt hurt the ones that werent as far a long any worse.
