Momma decided somewhere between last night 1030pm and 5 this morning that she didn’t want to sit anymore.
The eggs were somewhat warm (one was cold but I put it in the incubator anyway)
I candled and 4 were moving 1 I don’t think was.
Anyway- what are the chances of survival after putting in the incubator. we are on day 10- anyone go on to have chicks hatch?
 
I had someone accidentally collect two of my broody's eggs and they were left on the kitchen counter for 24 hours before anyone noticed (luckily I candled the eggs and didn't just crack them or something), and they both hatched just fine. Eggs can go dormant if conditions aren't right for a bit, though the longer that time is, the less likely they'll survive it. Your eggs at Day 10 can probably survive what was likely less than 12 hours being cold, and it's a very positive sign you are seeing movement. I think you saved most, if not all, of them with your quick action.
