Two days from lock down with four turkey eggs, power out overnight .... is there any chance they are alright. I plugged them back in and thought I would candle them tonight. They were all moving yesterday. The power plug got pulled out where it connects to the incubator.. don't know what happened I candled them around 10 and they were fine. : ( I'm so sad. The eggs were cold this morning. : (
 
I just candled one and saw a little movement... say a turkey prayer for these little gobblers.
 
If this helps....

I just went through the same thing; the power went out the evening of hatching day (three had already hatched). The next morning I had another hatchling. When I was able to get the incubator to a power source, it read 81 degrees. Still, both remaining eggs hatched and that's after hauling the incubator from my house to one of our empty rental houses which had power.

They are going to be alright especially now that they are before lockdown because they are fully grown and have their own heat in there.

Other people had viable embryos 4-5 days old after their incubators were off for 24 hours.

Good luck

Yes!!! I have movement in all four eggs tonight when I candled....
 
I think the closer you are to lockdown, the less problem it is to have a power outage. Like Alexander says, they're nearly fully developed already.

Good luck! I'd love to hatch out turkeys.
 
Well, I've got duck eggs in my bator just now and the extra week's wait is just about killing me.

Don't think I'd be able to cope with anything longer! Turkeys are 28 days too, right?
