Incubator / Power outage

[PDoogle]

I've got 11 fertile AFT eggs in a hovabator and the electricity went out last night. I'm guessing the incubator was off for 6 hours, and the temps dropped to 70 degrees. Just got it back on and temps back up to normal.

Am I screwed?

Ewwwww 70 is pretty low! I would say just keep up the incubation, and wait and see. If they are bad they should start to show signs. Also if you have room get some 16oz bottles of water and put those in the incubator they hold heat and may help give you added time if this were to happen again...as they would act as a heat source if the power went out.

2 hatched!

Well, 1 hatched today, another in the process....the 1st seems to be in good health, I'm hoping the temp didn't induce a hatch or anything like that. They were laid on 2/24.

I guess thats about right actually... didn't do the math.
