Will they be ok?

[MrsFordTN]

I just came home and I think maybe the power was off or the breaker kicked? I came home and all the bators had dropped down to 80 ish. The hum is high too! What do I do?

 

[CCourson05]

What day are they on? Most of the time, towards the beginning, screw ups aren't that big of a deal.

 

[MrsFordTN]

One Bator (5 eggs) are three days, just put the duck eggs in last night and then the last bator is 2 weeks out

 

[MrsFordTN]

Help? Anyone?

 

[CCourson05]

The few day old incubator should be fine. The two week old one is iffy... I would let them stay in the bator. It all depends on how long the electricity was off .

i don't know. i just wanted to say good luck.

 

[MrsFordTN]

Maybe an hour we just went to walmart, tsc, and back

I had a similar issue on day 9 and I'm supposed to go into lockdown tomorrow... there was movement after the outage but I didn't see any a couple of days ago. Not getting my hopes up... hope you have better luck!!!

they should all be fine. A hen will get up every day & eat & drink. She may be gone 20 mins or more. Eggs are designed to manage a little cold. It may just be a late hatch.

I hope so, I would hate to have to lie to the kids and just buy chicks and say they hatched!
