Not on day three, is the power still out? If so, you should find a way to warm them immediately. If not, they are ok and you should have a back up plan such as a battery operated lamp over the eggs, just in case that happens again.

I had a broody on eggs. She was on them a little more than 2 Days. Dog came and attacked her. I bought an incubator 4 Days later, and put 2 of the only undamaged ones in. Both developed just fine, one hatched.

So it’s possible

Power cut back on at about 6pm. and I candled at 7 I couldn't really see much other than a few veins but they seem ok I'll update on day 7 for future people with the same problems and on hatch day

I candled today and 21 out of 22 were still developing and dancing around inside the shells! The last one was an egg that had been refrigerated and I wanted to see if it would develop I put 2 one developed and the other one didn't so that's good to know
