This is a topic i was thinking of almost randomly but i poses a very serious question to me, I'm just getting into breeding myself and I'd like to know what would some of you do in this situation, or what would be the best thing to do if there is anything you could do at all..

Scenario# 1:

You Bp has recently laid a clutch of eggs, during incubation you have a power outage, you do not have a generator (as more often not that many people do). Hours go by and power is still not restored and the clutch is at severe risk. You have no idea what the temp is inside the incubator cause the thermo has no power to display it ,and opening the incubator would take away from any heat/humidity you have left in it. A whole day might possibly go by before power is returned..
What would you do if any thing can be done ??

For me I would have the heat packs I use for shipping, as I know more likely I will always have extras, and i would use those as a temperarory heat source, as well as having an old fashoned thermometer to try and somewhat monitor the temps,
or if the incubator is small enough I would call a family member and if they arent too far I'd ask them if i could hook the incubator up at their place if they have power.


I'd certainly like to hear all your ideas on this situation as some healthy advise i could use for the future
