power outage!

[Duckles]

Day 3 of incubating goose eggs and the power got knocked out by the wind. How long before the eggs are damaged? The incubator is in a pretty warm room and I replaced the plug. Its down to 80 degrees and the water wiggler is at 100. I'm so worried!

I had two nights of power outage. My incubators got down to 75 one night. That was day 6 and 7. Im on day 22 and candled last night. 18 out of the 24 eggs look good. Threw the 6 out this morning. Im sure you will be okay as long as it doesn't last for a day.

Cover your incubator with blankets! We lost power 6 times in the past month and I've had temps go down as low as 77. I only lost 2 out of 20 eggs. Also, call your power company for an estimation of how long the power will be out.

How long was the power out for?

It ended up only being about 2 hours, the temp on the water wiggler was stable but I'm still creeping back up from 80 degrees in the bator. It's at 98 now...

Thanks everyone for the helpful tips, I feel more prepared now if it happens again. hope not
