No power for 24 hours

I believe it! My incubator malfunctioned on day 14 of my Pekin incubation (2 eggs). It was off for about 12 hours - thankfully my experimental homemade incubator was on and warm. "Number One" hatched on day 27 and "Baby" hatched on day 28. Hardy little guys! Baby did have a difficult hatch that required intervention, but they are a little over a week old today!

NICE, are you going to just tease us or do we get to see PICS??? WOOO HOO

OMG, that really stinks.. WOW I feel for you.

I guess you must have been just north of the path of that storm huh? It was awful! Mostly because hubby wasn't home!

LOL You get pictures!

This is "Number One"

And "Baby"

They were a couple days old at the time of the pics. They are growing soooo fast!

This all happened to me on day 14 too! Glad your guys made it too!

But I don't believe you without pics

I was so upset! I had babied those eggs for two weeks! Then after they had been in the new bator overnight, I candled and I saw movement
in both eggs. I was so excited! Then, I get on here (duh - should have done that in the first place) and read so many stories of incubator malfunction/power outages that it made me feel MUCH better and I stopped stressing...too much. lol I love my babies!

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Number One hatched out ready to conquer the world. No joke.
Like I said, Baby had a difficult hatch but he/she is doing awesome now!

I just had to add this pic because I thought it was so cute.
My turkey and 2 Comet girls are in the house on the top, and the ducks are on the bottom. My pug Dudley loves watching them. He couldn't see in on the chicks, so I pulled a chair up and he will sit there for hours, watching in the window. He really wants some chicken!
