Low Incubator Temp Overnight

[Lkase]

My incubator dropped to 95 for probably 5 hours overnight. Day 5 of incubation. Will they be okay?

 

[CanadaEh]

they should be alright. I would suggest insulation around it to prevent time of day temperature swings + increase temperature consistency throughout the incubator.

 

[Chickie friend]

yes! I've had chicks hatch that had no heat for 8 hours (5 of 7!) You might have a slight decrease in hatching rate, but you'll be fine.

 

[Lkase]

Thank you both! What a relief.

I candled them all tonight and all looks fine. Not sure if I would see signs that something was wrong yet, but it gives me hope! Eyes visable in all and movement in 3/5.
