I came home today to find the light burnt out in my incubator and the temperature at 75 Fahrenheit/25 Celsius.
My worry is that this has killed anything growing within the eggs (turkey, duck, and chicken) as it couldve been out since 830 this morning or as late as 12-2
(Found, and light replaced at 4:15)
Whats the verdict on the health of my eggs? Any thanks is appreciated.
 
Okay so at the worst 8 hours. However, the eggs internal temp still remains up in the 90's a lot longer than the incubators temp. so lets say 5 hours instead of 8 cuz i doubt it when out as soon as you left but you never know. give another 2 hours for the egg to get cold. so 3 hours of a cold egg. i dunno. what day of incubation? late incubation embryos are more hardy to temp fluctuations. were the eggs cold to the touch? I would still incubate and candle them to see if they continue growing. I would say they're fine.
 
thank you and i think their all around 3 weeks (duck and turkey) and the chickens were about 2 weeks
Have hope. been there.. done that................
As well as a temp surge to 105.
The little devils hatched.......................
