Incubator cooled off slightly on day 2

[Bobbie3504]

Got a little late start on getting them in the incubator, the first incubator we were loaned, wouldn't reach 99 degrees, so a friend made me a new one ... however on the first day in, We were gone for a little while and a storm knocked our power out for a couple of hours when we got home the temp was about 87. degrees? Guessing it wasn't that low for more than an hour or so, I made sure the temp went back to 99, then again it dropped over night to about the same (not sure if the power went out again or not) for a little longer than an hour. Am I going to have to start over or am I still safe at this point? Duck Eggs... Peeking and Mallard. I only have 10 eggs in the incubator and have back ups but don't want to give up on these if they have started developing. Thank you!

If you’re only on day 2 you should be fine. They may hatch a day later. How old are the eggs?

Fingers crossed!! they are only a couple of days old.
