temp drop in my incubator...oh no??

[dirtbagchickens]

While doing my daily check I found my light was out and the inside temp was about 70. I lazer temp read my eggs and they were all the same. is this certain disaster for my clutch or is there hope for any resilience in swinging through the fluctuation?

Overly high temperatures are generally a disaster, but lowered temperatures just seem to cause a slight increase in incubation time. If the eggs were viable, they should still hatch.

I had two incubators go off for ~12 hours or so on day 17 and most eggs hatched. I would link to my experience but search doesn't seem to work for me right now.

It depends largely on what day they were on. What day was it?
