Power out what to do

[bobbieschicks]

Our power out now 13 minutes is hatch bad or will it be okay.

Is there anything I should do or just leave alone and pray for power again.

So frustrating.

They will be fine. DO NOT open the bator. At all. If the incubator temp drops, then you can wrap it in blankets. It will take HOURS for an egg temp to drop enough to kill them.

Remember that the air temp in the bator does not always equal the internal egg temp.

Thanks I just pray the power comes on soon. Must be all this rain causing issues.

About to run out of battery power on iPhone too.

Power just came back on and bator temp is 98 so hopefully no worries.

Glad to here your power is back on but for future reference...I wrapped my bator in a down quilt. The power was out for 8 hrs. I didn't loose any because of it. Had a dud and an early quitter. Good luck with your hatch.
