Incubator lost power

[SaraC833]

Hi everyone!
We're on day 18 of what I was hoping to be a very good hatch.... I came home from work to find the incubator unplugged and the temp hovering around 22 degrees. It's supposed to be 37.5....ugh.
Should I still be hopeful?!?

Thanks!

If the eggs were viable to begin with, they will stay hatch.

Thanks....they were all definitely viable....should I anticipate a late hatch.... they're supposed to go into lockdown tomorrow.

if by 22 degrees you mean Celsius scale, then I think your eggs will be OK.

I trust sourlands opinion

Yes.... Celsius.... thanks!

Yes.... Celsius.... thanks!

Good. Cause at first I was like: "O' my gosh! I'm surprised the eggs aren't frozen solid!"

haha the context clue here was OP stated the eggs were supposed to be at 37.5 which is incubation temp in C.

which I know solely because my incubator is in C with no option to switch to F. lol
