Lost power to the bator question

[Sasquatch]

Yesterday our kitten managed to work the bator cord out of the wall. When I discovered the problem hte temp in the bator had dropped to 77 degrees but the humidity had spiked to 86%. They were on day ten and rocking along. My question do I gather and set a new bunch of eggs or ride this one out?

Using the search feature (which I should have done first, I know) it seems that they still have a good chance. I guess that I will wait it out.

Just wait it out for sure- the only thing it might do is cause them the hatch a bit later than expected.
Good on you for using the search!

Happy hatching!

Thanks for the reply. These eggs a from the mutt batch so all I'd be out is 10 days. But, eggs hatching is a rite of spring here in the Ice Station Idaho!

I wouldn't give up just yet. You may be surpirsed. They could still hatch. Good luck.

keep them along.

maybe the weaker will not survive, but let's expect everything will gonna to be okay.

good luck

Ride it out. I had a ground plug trip and the same thing happened. I still hatched 5 out of 6.
For some reason when the temp drops the humidity spikes. It doesn't make sense to me, but it happens every time. It will be back to normal shortly.

Cooler air can hold less water as it is more dense. As the air becomes more dense the relative humidity rises.
