Help!

I am supposed to be locking down the goose eggs for hatching on Thursday. (Day 28) But there is now a very last minute planned powercut on Wednesday. (Will they be ok?!)

Also, they look to be later in their development than I hoped when candling on Sunday 29th. Temperature has been 37.5 - 37.7. And humidity kept between 50-55%

I have a Brinsea Octagon 40 with a humidity pump which I calibrated at set up if this is helpful at all.

I have hatched hens and ducks before but this is my first time hatching goslings so any advice is welcome.

How long is the power cut for? What is the temperature in the room? Usually they would be OK for a few hours, but I have no idea how long if they are in the process of hatching. Perhaps sort out a backup power supply in the coming week?

Luckily the power was only off for a few hours so will continue as normal to lockdown tomorrow and hope hatching commences over the coming week
