HELP FAST!! the eggs are peeping....with pictures

[spoolin]

alright guys, she got down from the nest, and left acouple of eggs(8) in there. is there any way i can hatch them? i dont have an incubator.
thank you

She probably left them because there is no signs of life in them. I would toss them. My broody left 6 and none of them were viable.

I am not an expert, and have never personally hatched eggs on my own, but I have heard that when the fertile eggs cool it slows/stops the growth of the chick so that the mama is able to sit on all her eggs and hatch them all at the same time after she has laid her last egg to sit on. So, she might still be laying more before she sets on her eggs.

for an absolute certainty though. Hoping someone offers some additional insight for you. If not, maybe it just wasn't meant to be at this time for this hen?

Have you candled them to see if they are viable or not? How long has she been sitting on these eggs?

maybe a heating pad on low with a few damp sponges and a box covering to try to get humidity up. Good luck.
