I have some Light Brahams and one has been broody on some eggs for 2 weeks. I accidentally penned up the chickens away from the eggs for 4ish hours. One hen was trying to get out so I put her with the eggs.

A. Are the eggs lost? B. Did I pick the right hen?
 
I’m really sorry, but I don’t think they’re going to hatch. 4 hours is way too many hours, I’ve heard 10 minutes is the maximum a hen can be off her eggs.
 
Let all the hens loose and see which one wants to get back on the eggs.

More than 10 minutes is bad, but doesn't automatically kill the eggs. Did the eggs get cold?
