Power went out JUST as a chick pipped!

One out of 2 of my viable shipped eggs JUST pipped JUST as the power went out



The incubator has dropped in temp rapidly but the humidity is still good does anyone have any tips?! Power is estimated to return in 3hrs!

No tips here as I’ve never hatched with an incubator. that would be one of my biggest fears if I decided to do so. Hopefully they make it.

Cover the incubator with a towel or smaller blanket to avoid loss of heat

Thankyou! Good idea!

Yep, cover the incubator, although you may not want to cover the air vent, maybe someone else can comment on how long the oxygen in an incubator lasts.
There's a good chance that they will be fine, I had three piped eggs on a fairly cold floor for around half an hour, (after a dog disaster) and they all still hatched and are going strong today. I imagen they would keep their temp pretty well in closed incubator.

Thankyou for the reassurance

The lone survivor out of the 2 im suspecting the horrific saddle air sac for the other one was the cause of its demise tho not the power going out
