Can anyone help me. My wife switched off my incubator by mistake and it has been off for about 3 hours. Most of the eggs in there are due to hatch in 4 days with 5 which have only been in for 7 days. I normally remove the eggs into my hatcher as soon as they start to hatch.
Will the embryos be dead or will they die? They felt cold to the touch when I noticed the bator was off.
 
Hopefully you should be fine. We had a 3 day power outage. Temps went down to 85 (over 15 hours) then about 16 hours later to 90.
I lost the ones due in 2 days (12) but the ones that were due in 5 days I now have 8 out of 30. I have 4 others I am still hoping for.
A lot better then nothing!
