Some how, and I think there might have been a mischevious 2 year old involved, my temp in my incubator was dropped to 95 for an undetermined amount of time. Im on day 17 and I can see embryonic movement in all of the eggs, but they just aren't as developed as I think they should be. There is a lot of space, and I seem to remember there being less space this far along in other eggs I've hatched. Any advice? Should I just let them "cook" a while longer?
 
Yep, that's what I'd do. Put the temp back where it belongs, and then be patient when they're a bit slow to hatch.
 
Thanks! I figured a bit too low is going to be better than too high. I'd say they look about 3-4 days behind what they should be. Should I hold off on lockdown? What do you think?
 
I'd probably lock them down on schedule. You don't know how long they were at the lower temperature; it may not have been that long.
