Temperature drop

[lsnyder43]

Hi! this is my first try at incubating and hatching. We removed eggs from automatic turner last night before bed. When I checked incubator this morning, the temp had dropped to about 80. I got temp back up to 99.5, but I am not sure how long is was cooler for. Do you think I have lost this batch? Monday is day 21, do I just wait it out and see? Thanks in advance for any info, suggestions, or tips you may have for a newbie to hatching.

They should be fine. Since by this time they are starting to produce their own heat. My guess is you might just have a delayed hatch seeing it was just sometime throughout the night.
