Temp drop on day 2-3 of incubation..

[Candiss]

We had a power for a few hours outage and the temp dropped to the mid 80s, should I give up on this batch? I am disgusted.. Has anyone ever went through a temp drop and had a successful hatch? Thank you.

I would! Atleast until day 14-15. Then candle and see! I am so sorry!
I wish you the best of luck!!

God Bless!

I agree; I'd give it a whirl. Only thing I'd do different is I'd candle them on day 7 and go from there.

Having the lower temp seems better than a temp spike. Go with it and see what happens! The worst you can do is let them be, candle, and check for development. Good luck!!!

Thank you for all your help and encouragement..

lol. I never have much luck with brown eggs either. I just call them fertile and toss them in!
