Temp drop in incubator

[ngp55]

I found my thermostat had been moved to 90 degrees when I checked this morning. It had been that for probably 18 hours. I have chicks that should be hatched tomorrow and ducks in a week. Have I ruined my eggs?

You should be fine...90 isn't too bad! It's better that it dropped lower than fry them! Check out this link to a real story http://metzerfarms.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-temperatures-kill-in-incubator.html?m=1

Maybe not, keep your fingers crossed. 18 hours is a long time. How many eggs are in it?

I have 5 chicks and 3 ducks
