She probably has it covered up good though. Or do you mean off for good?

Nope, feathers are no longer on the eggs, there's snow all over them. The eggs are done for....

When the snowy mess slows, I'm going to go add the extra fencing on the gates to keep them all in the backyard. I'm making her be done w/the eggs, since now they are freezing.

She's been off the nest since last night. Don't think I can even save them and hatch them in the bator.

Probably not, so sorry

But theres always next spring and the weather will be better.

Hopefully they were't fertile since you said you aren't sure about your drake.

So sorry to hear that. I was so hoping to see pics of her babies.

Put up fencing on the gate and collected 12 eggs...all fertile and about on day 6 of incubation when they died last night.....
Good news, drake's willy still works, lol.
