Eggs pushed away from broody

[NuggetTheChicken]

Hi guys. I have a question about something. I have a broody jersey giant that has been broody for about a week. I gave her 7 eggs 3 days ago hoping she'll hatch them out. She has been committed fully and sitting on them. The problem is that when I check on her a few times during the day, there are eggs that have been pushed away from her, and they feel cold. Pretty sure they are pushed away by other hens, so tomorrow, I'll separate her. Question is that are those eggs still alive? They had been pushed away from her maybe about 12 or so hours and it's the 3rd day on incubation. Thanks in advance!

It depends on how long the eggs were out of the nest. I think those eggs can survive 20 mins of cold incubation.

Fertile eggs can survive, 24 hours at room temperature, but will probably delay the hatch.
