Power Failure - Is It Hopeless For the Eggs?

[30secondstobob]

Yesterday while I was at work, the power in my house went out for about an hour and fifteen minutes. My kids told me about it and I confirmed it by checking the times on all my automatic light timers. I'm certain that the temp in my incubator must have gotten down to room temp (76 degrees) for at least half an hour or so. Will this kill the eggs? I presently have 6 eggs in there - two due to hatch this week, two - mid incubation and two that were just laid a few days ago. My first two eggs survived two thirty minute power failures and still hatched, but nothing of this duration. Is there still hope? Sometimes it sucks to live in Florida. Bob

I'm sure there is still hope. Just incubate until they either hatch, or stink. I think they'd still be fine though

Im sure they will be fine. Its the temp spikes you have to worry about (i.e) going over 90*

Thank you - got my fingers crossed! Bob
