Hi, my heating element seems to have failed sometime between 11.30pm and 6.00am this morning when I noticed. The temperature had dropped to 77 degrees Fahrenheit as the fan had continued to operate. I replaced the heating element straight away and the temperature within the space of a half hour has gone back to normal.

My eggs are on day 9 of incubation and have been developing as normal having candled at day 7.

I can't be sure as to how long the eggs were without heat but it could have been a max time of six and a half hours.

If this likely to have killed the embryos or is there a chance they will be okay?

Many thanks.
 
I would candle them in a few days (about day 10) and see what you see, I hope you get a nice surprise! The internal temp of the egg may not have fallen that much, hang in there!
