Well i posted a thread about my power going off for about 2 hours a couple weeks ago... it happened last night but it went out for about 4 hours from 9-12!!!! Will my eggs be okay or am i doomed???

not if it's a good incubator.
Last year I had one go a full 24 hours without, I wrapped it with a blanket to help hold the ehat as much as possible, everything in it hatched still.
Not doomed yet, keep them going for now....

you should be fine. keep in mind mama would be getting up and down and leaving them at times. good luck

When the momma gets off the nest, the eggs will cool and go into sort of a suspended animation for a little while, until she sits on the eggs again. If they're in the incubator, and the lid isn't taken off and covered with a towel, they'll be good for several hours. I had the lights go off here for about 8 hrs. once, and mine did fine.
