I had to drive my eggs home from school!

Last night the power went out at our school and I have two incubators there! My husband went out in the storm and rescued the incubators from school and brought them home 15min drive. They have 6 more days until they hatch and this was a classroom focus. Do you think it is okay to bring them back to school or just keep them here?
 
I think you could do either. I'd be cautious about vibrations, don't know how sensitive they are to those (from driving). But if you can keep them warm and transport and set them up in less than half an hour, I think you can take them back to school. Mother hens usually take one half hour break a day, so that's my guideline for how long I can have them out of the "nest" (incubator) daily (for candling and such).

I wouldn't be too worried about humidity through it all, more worried about temperature.
