Eggs that have been neglected

[mrslein]

Just discovered that a mink got into my chicken coop. There are some eggs left in a nest, not sure how they have been there. It temperature here is still around 32 degrees at night. Can the eggs be saved? I would like to put them in a incubator if possible.

Try it and candle in a week or so--not much to lose so you might as well. I had one that was out overnight at 22 degrees and while I don't know if it will hatch it is developing well so far. Sorry about your losses, mink are tough.

Thank you for you info. Put them in an incubator right away, so I'm crossing my fingers!
