Chook Me!

Is it possible to use an incubator for chicken, duck, or turkey eggs in an area that has regular black outs?

I live in a rural area that has just about daily black outs (or brown outs). They last from 5 minutes to 12 hours normally. Usually in a day we'll lose power for 1-2 hours. I would like to use an incubator for my eggs, but I'm not sure if it is possible due to the power problems. I don't have a generator, although I've considered getting one. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

1. I wouldn't risk it, they need the incubator 24/7 this blackouts could cause serious damage
2. Don't incubate Eggs when you know there will be a Power Cut sooner or later. If you really need to incubate Eggs, you should buy a generator, then nothing can go wrong with Power Supplies. ~ Zarago ~
