powercutt

Had a powercut for about 2 hours and the temperature fell to 25 degrees, managed to put a bottle of hot water inside and it rose to about 31. for the last 20 min. can anyone tell me if this has affected my hatch??

It will probably depend how far into incubation the eggs are. The embryo's seem to survive better the older they are, you could try candling the eggs looking for signs of life. Fingers crossed they'll be OK.

they are due to hatch on sat hopefully, all i can say is that i felt two of the 10 move inside there shells. so lets see

they may hatch a few days late but hopfull some will be ok

I think there is a good chance they'll hatch! (glass half-full kind of person)

Hi,
I had a power cut about 6-8weeks ago for over 5 hours with eggs at various stages of incubation and still had a pretty good hatch rate. Also had chicks at various ages and by letting the bigger chicks in with the smaller chicks I only lost 3. So I think yours will be ok
