eggs too cold to incubate?

[3 chicken farmers]

i got some eggs in the mail and they were left outside for some time they didnt freeze but they were very cold when i got them are they still ok to incubate? thanks

I'd sure give it a try. Lots of people have had good luck hatching eggs that have been stored in the fridge.

let them warm up to room temp for at least 12 hours then pop them into the bator, they should be ok if they werent frozen, the last shipped eggs I got were pretty darn cold when I got them and on day 8 and 9 they all had little bouncy embryos in them wich is awsome for shipped eggs to begen with .

You should also candle the eggs to make sure the air sac and the large end of the eggs did not rupture.

A ruptured air sack will appear as a floating air bubble inside the egg that always moves to the top as you rotate the egg. If this happened, then the may not hatch.

more then half of my first shipped eggs had detatched air cells and more then half didnt grow , but the six I have growing babies in out of the six I got all had detatched air cells and they are doing fine, I have htem in cartons
