Incubation in process, lost power 29 hours ago

[GypseRse55]

I have 20 duck eggs in my incubator, just about a week when we lost power due to ice storm. They say it will be 48 hours, possibly, before the power returns. I know this is mostly about chickens but I’m hoping someone can advise me. Are the eggs a loss?

Others have had this happen and still had some hatch. Maybe wrap towels around the incubator to try to hold in as much heat as you can. Is there a way you can heat water and make hot water bottles to put in it? Or do you have anything else that you can make hot someway to put in there?

The hatch may be delayed but I wouldn't write it off fully yet. Good luck!!
