Incubator lost power for 5 hours. Whats the likely outcome

Yes there is still hope. Though we didn't have the best hatch, we did have 75 healthy, happy little quail chicks.

We lost Power last night it is still off temp in incubator is down to 61 deg f. we put in two candles to raise the temp glad to see that the hatch is not a total write off. Hope power comes back on soon.

Do you have a Walmart near you? I bought a car jump starter and inverter which kept my incubator temp up while my power was off. I was two weeks into incubation when we lost power.

Sweet

I had it happen to me too. I lost power on the coldest night a couple of years ago and was 2 weeks into incubation. I still had a good hatch. Now I have a Jump Starter Powerpack and an inverter. I have lost power since and as soon as I discovered it I hooked the incubator up. I had chicks in these boxes during an outage and used power pack with an inverter to power 2 15 watt bulbs in the boxes to keep the chicks warm.
