power failure on my incubators

[pjenkin3]

I brought my incubators up to temperature and filled them with eggs. I went out for the night and when I returned the temp was down to 93-94 degrees. I know that is too low but i'm not sure they actually ever reached temp as the were in there for less than a day. I guess I can leave them in there for a while and candle them but I do't know how long I should wait before candling them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

When you fill a ready(temp right) incubator with cooler eggs---it can take 24 hrs +/- to get back up to temp----never readjust during that time or you can have a headache. As long as your eggs did not get close to 105 and above you are good. Now if you did readjust the temp when you got home---you will have to monitor it closely for the next couple days.

Please tell me how long it will be before I can candle them to see if they are growing. Thanks for your help!

Day 5 or 6 you should be able to see the veins inside the eggs----if the eggs are not to dark.

Today should be time enough to check them. Thanks for your help
