stevo79 569 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Had a power cut for a couple of hours and my incubator is on day 10. Anyone experienced this I think I'm going to leave it running and take a chance. Il check the eggs in a few days to see if there's any development? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keeper eley 367 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Should be fine! Eggs hold a lot of heat inside 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
talt 878 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Same thing happened to me in the second week, temperature dropped to degrees. It was off for a couple of hours but 6 out of ten hatched and the other 4 were infertile any way, so things will probably be ok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yes should be fine, last year thunder and lightning bucketing it down, mine went out at 12am and was on early morning. 2 didn't hatch all the rest did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Il check the eggs in a few days to see if there's any development Hopefully they'll be fine but keep us informed as a friend was telling me this morning he had a clutch due out a couple of days ago but no sign yet. His electricity was off for a day (9 till 5) a week or so ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevo79 569 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi mate, I've got Dark Dorkings, Buff Sussex, Red Sussex, Chamois Polish, Barnvelders and Seramas in this this one. Theres about 150 eggs in total so I didn't really want a power cut. But after reading the posts I think it should be ok Atb? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
