[URGENT- NEED HELP] Heat wave has me terrified for my eggs!

[Amykins]

Okay, NOW I'm in full-blown Panic Mode...I kept the eggs downstairs last night since it was pretty warm well into the evening. I got up this morning to check on them and the temp had gone all the way down to 95!!

I ran them back upstairs and warmed them up, then candled them. I can't see into one egg at all because it's so veiny, and the other I saw movement, but only barely, and that was only when I tapped on the egg shell. Usually when I candle them they bounce around like a jumping bean.

What do I do? Have I lost my eggs? Are they going to die from being so cold all through the night?!

No, they'll be fine. I've heard of people's incubators getting turned off accidentally and staying off for 24 hours and their chicks hatched. Chick embryos are tough little things! The cool down may have slowed down their development a little bit though, so when hatch day comes and they don't show any sign of pipping keep this in mind.

I just re-candled them in a darker area to be sure and the same thing - some movement, but barely. Ugh, I'm so freaking worried!

One of the eggs is completely dark, while the other isn't. That's just plain weird. And in the egg that's still half-clear I see small, dark spots all over it. Oh god, I can't lose this duckling, I just can't...

 

[Amykins]

I think they're dead. Thanks anyway, I guess.

Don't give up yet. I've hatched chicks from eggs before that I thought were dead. Give them a few more days and candle again.
