I just had a beautiful hatch of leghorn chicks, so I sanitized everything and put my incubator and egg turner back together, and set a new batch of pheasant eggs. The big fail on my part was that I did not plug in the turner. So upset with myself.
The eggs have sat for 5 days without turning. My question is: are they ruined or is there still hope?
 
Your eggs still have hope, even if you haven't turned them for five days. I'd still give them a chance to hatch.
 
Update on unplugged hatch- Had several hatch and they did terrific. So glad for the encouragement, thank you Wyandottes7!
 
I think you can store eggs for up to a week before incubating, so you should be fine. However your hatch rate might be a little down.
