    Eggs were not turned

    My incubator did not reset correctly. I set eggs at 2200 on Sunday. It is now 1200 on Thursday so almost 4 days where the eggs did not turn. The temperature and humidity were correct. Should I start over with new eggs? Do these eggs have a chance at hatching? Any advise is appreciated. Thanks
