incubator question

16 years ago

Hello Duck Experts!

Our Preschool incubator was off when we came in on Monday morning. We estimate it could have been off for almost 24-30 hours max. We don't know for sure. It was on late Saturday afternoon and was off at 7am Monday morning. We have 3 eggs. Is it possible for them to survive? They were on day 4 from the start of incubating. Thanks!

Mary

There are so many variables that it is hard to say definitely yes or no....depends on what the external "room" temp was and the humidity levels... it surely would not hurt to give them a chance... you should be able to candle them at one week and see if life exists inside the egg.... keep us posted
