Broody hen sat on wrong eggs today

[Brownnikkid]

My broody hen has been sitting on 8 fertilized eggs for 2 days and then today while I was at work I guess she got up to eat and got confused and sat on the wrong eggs(unfertilized) eggs and the fertilized ones were cold I am unsure how long she was on the wrong eggs after I left for work, are they ruined or will they be ok since today was only day 2? She is back on them and I isolated her to avoid it happening again this is her 3rd hatch so I know she is a Great mama hen

Oh no sorry definitely an accident posting twice I am just in a panic lol thank you I sure, I pray they are OK. I tried to candle her last eggs she hatched for us but for some reason I couldn't find a light bright enough or something

Depends on how long and at what temperature the eggs were left, but they are more than likely fine. I recently had a case where one of our hens was sitting on eggs during the day, but was locked away from them at night. My daughter decided to candle the eggs before she was to dispose of them. They were developing with well established veins even though the previous night was below freezing. We currently have 6 chicks.

Have you tried using the flash light on a cell phone? Wait a couple days before checking your current eggs.
