Ohhhh.... noooooo..... :( :( :(

If they are still moving then hopefully they may be ok. One of my broodies got shut out of her broody box for an afternoon and some still hatched ok. Candle them again in a few days (please remember to turn it back on though  )

friends of mine had a power cut for 24 hours when they where incubating some eggs, they said it was the best hatch they had ever had. 

Fingers crossed

Oh guys.... thanks for the good news stories

I feel so much more positive now   I am resisting the urge to candle them again.... but its very hard.

I nearly put them in the Hovabator that was up and running, but was scared that I would either shock them or that the eggs that were in that already would get chilled   They are due to hatch on friday......

Oh well 10 days to go and we will see   Good luck chookies

Thanks Foxy

I am leaving it far too late really to incubate   I went against the advice on here not too...... but couldnt help myself

I am set up though with  a large stable which I can put a smaller coop with heat lamp in.... for however long they need..... and of course they can stay in the house for as long as necessary too

I just couldnt bear the thought of not putting this last lot of eggs to use

To think I had killed them this morning was too much to bear

My friends broody left 4 eggs in the nest when 2 chicks hatched. She wouldnt stop on the nest and wanted to go out with her new babies.
She brought the eggs to me to put in my incy. They were stone cold and I couldnt hear any tapping from them. One hatched the next day and went back with the broody.
I left the incy on and another hatched 2 days later!!!
The broody wouldnt have this one back  So I scrounged a day old chick off someone as company for it and started my brooder up again (It had been cleaned and put away for the winter)
Would you believe it the chick died  so I was left with one solitary chick to rear.
Anyway, it cried and cried. So I put it in with some 4 wk old dutch chicks and it is absolutely fine

Big Jen...... you really did try for that little chick

Thanks for yet another positive spin on my little disaster

I am feeling very hopeful now..... another friend told me that her 'bator went down to 60 for hours and they still got 50% hatch.....  I suppose that 70 degrees is not freezing cold..... I would be happy at 70
