Fortunately, my 1 week old chickens and Jumbo Brown Coturnix Quail survived 4 hours last night without heat lamps during a black out. I covered the brooders with blankets and they appear to be doing well now. However, I did lose the 18 chicken eggs I had in the incubator. This happened to me previously. About 4 days before the hatch I lost power for three hours and had no way to add heat to the incubator. Only one chick hatched. She survived and is still laying eggs today.
I have the opportunity to pickup a free generator from my stepdad and I think I'm going to do it now - before this happens again!
Blessings.
Wally
