Fridge egg

Hi I was wondering if I had put a fertilized egg in the fridge for a couple hours and then decided to give it back to my broody silkie is the egg stile fertile?

Putting it in the fridge (and washing) isn't good for the egg, but there is definitely a chance that it will still hatch as it wasn't there for long. Give it a try!

its too hot here in the summer to keep eggs, 80 in the house is cool .... so if i want to incubate a batch my only real option is keeping them in a fridge a couple of days .. so i get a box that will fit my crisper drawer in the bottom so its humidity controlled somewhat, line it with dry grass and add the eggs in daily until i got 15 or so, i turn them 3 times a day while theyre 'chillin' ... ive had them in the fridge up to 5 days with seemingly no problems, hatch rates are good ..
