Have you got them back up to temp now?
You may be lucky.  All you can do is wait another week & candle again to see if there's been any development.
Fingers crossed! |

| My Marans was switched off at 11 p.m. at night on day 4 & I didn't find out until 7 a.m. the next morning - this was at the end of November, so pretty cool overnight, even indoors. She hatched two days late but otherwise fine - then again, she was the only one to hatch out of 5 possibles. |
