Broody Chickens Question

[henryscarpet]

Hi I'm new here and new at raising chickens. I've had my chickens (which hatched from an incubator) for 8 months.
One chicken is broody since 3 days ago and today she accidentally got locked out of her nest for about 4hrs when she got out to stretch She is now back in her nest but are the eggs still viable? Temp was about 67⁰F
Please help with your advice Thanks.

Don't worry too much, the eggs should be fine. Candle at 8-10 days. If you see veins everything is good.

Thank you for your response, crossing my fingers that the eggs will be fine I will post updates.

4 hours at 67 degrees should not harm the eggs. I accidentally locked a hen off her nest at similar temperatures for 8 hours. She hatched all of the eggs.
We also had a hen who started her own nest outside of the pen. We kept putting her in the pen every night. I asked my daughter to toss out those eggs. My daughter decided to candle the eggs before tossing. Two weeks later we had 6 chicks.
