Please help, Not sure what to do with my eggs...It was day two of incubation and we had a power failure for 20 hours
The temperature here is average 70 degrees. Should I throw the eggs away or should I carry on?
I have just put another 6 eggs in the incubator and started over (left the other eggs inside aswell)
I am only new to this and my first batch in over 15 years...
What should I do?

I would probably leave them in if it were me but a lot depends on how much you value the eggs. If they are expensive shipped eggs, leave them in for sure. If they are barnyard mixes from your own birds, it might not be worth the time to wait a week and see if they are developing, and instead scramble them for the birds to eat and add some fresh eggs to the incubator. FWIW, they most likely will still develop - if they were fertile and the yolks undamaged.

Thank you so much...I feel comfortable about leaving them in now.
Sincerely appreciate your responding
