If your heat source burns out what are the chances of egg survival

[SophieLain127]

Anytime between 4pm and midnight is when it went out. I feel like hatching is turning into a disaster. Eggs got to room temp which is 76 degrees.

Do they NOW have a heat source?

 

[SophieLain127]

yes I replaced it as soon as I noticed it.

I would keep on incubating because you never know. Lots of people have had power outages and still got decent hatches....

I have had power outages for 4-5 hours and still had sucessful hatchings of geese. On geese I think its the first week and the last week of their delvelopment that is so crictical. You may still be ok on your hatchings. Dorothy

My power also went out. I am a teacher and I arrived at school this morning to no power and water. The incubator was at 80 degrees. I have 28 duck eggs in my incubator and some very worried 7 and 8 year olds. I am crossing my fingers for your eggs and mine!!!!

Yup. Keep trying. One of the members on here just got a good hatch after the power went out and the house got freezing cold. It can happen. Don't give up!
