Eggs fell from incubator!

[cluckadoodledoo13]

Hi, today my hen that was previously sat on the eggs rejected them. I candled all 12 but only had 5 that were fertile. I set the incubator up as i thought this was the next best option. However i’ve never used it before and put the eggs in slightly wrong, 3 fell whilst rotating. There doesn’t seem to be any damage and i don’t want to candle them again as they’ve aulready gone cold once. Does anyone know if they’ll still be ok or if this will have damaged them inside?

They have 8 days to go currently, forgot to mention. @piyo piyo @mjelse

Hi and welcome to BYC. I would be inclined to continue with incubating them. I’m sure others will share their opinions on whether they remain viable.

Thank You, i’m going to continue with the incubation and see what happens. We’ll hopefully get 2 even if the others are damaged.

Did your broody just quit on you?

Yes, she was sat on them until then. We assume she just got bored or as she was hatched in an incubator didn’t have a very strong maternal instinct?
