Lost power because of ice storm-incubator off 16 hours-lost cause???

[offtheleash]

I had 5 eggs in the incubator, one with a hatch date of 1-29.

We lost power yesterday because of bad ice storm, so incubator was off for 16 hours!

Is this a lost cause? I've had it on since the power came back on.

Greatly appreciate any advice!

I can't speak for incubators, but I had a broody hen leave eggs for a full 24 hours once. They still hatched, but about a day late. If I had to guess I'd think the same will happen for your eggs. Keep it going and see how it goes!

Good luck and keep us posted!

They should be fine.
