My First Batch of Shipped FBCM Eggs

Everything was going well until last night. We had a power outage twice for a couple hours, they started to drop in temperature the first time so I loaded them in the truck, cranked up the heat, and drove them to a friends house that had power and they spent the night there. I don't know that they are a total loss as of this point or if I saved them. Anyone know more me? They got to about 80 for half an hour or so. What is the minimum temperature and for how long.

So heartbreaking! It is so hard to find chicks in my area!

They should be okay, actually. Too cool is much better than too warm. Keep them going and wait till day 18 to candle so you don't drive yourself crazy trying to figure out if they're still growing in there or not.
