Temp dropped to 64

One of my kids unplugged our incubator & by the time I realized it the temp had dropped down to 64. The eggs are about to start day 15. Are they ruined???

Im gonna give you a bump cause Im not sure. I know my last hatch, on day 2 I had a drop same thing incubator got unplugged. They hatched just a day late. But like I said that was day 2 not 15. Hope they make it. I would warm the bator back up then candle to see if I could see any movement

Me either. I hatched four chicks out today. Their bator suffered a 3 hour power cut on day 3 or 4. I just got it back up to temp as soon as possible and didn't worry too much. I think as long as the eggs don't go completely cold they'll probably be okay. Might hatch out a day or so late, so don't worry if they don't pop out bang on schedule on day 21...

I had a similar problem yesterday with my silkie sort of "missing" 2 of the 4 eggs she's sitting on. They were lukewarm when I shoved them back under her. I hope they're ok, its day 14 today. The eggs are green also, so I have no way of checking to see if anything is going on in them.
