Hi help my heatlight went in bator on last night of lockdown. The eggs were cold wen woke up
Would of they have died. :( . Thanks ashley
 
Replace bulb. Worse things have happened and they may well still hatch.
 
my incy got turned off for a whle day when my eggs were abut 1 week in, the temp was 10 when we noticed, at least half the eggs hatched, altho they were a little late, give it a bit of time and see
 
Hi Ashley. We've had cold eggs before and all it did was delay the hatch. The later in the incubation process the better, because in the first week they are very vulnerable. But 12 hours without heat may simply delay the hatch by a day, so wait and see.
 
After your recent experiences with late-hatching CPQs, you will be ready to just hang on in there, and see what happens! There's nothing else you can do, anyway, is there, don't give up yet. Let us know how you get on.
