They can survive an entire day at room temp. before dying in the shell. I found an egg a day from hatch left in the nest overnight. It got down in the 50's that night. I popped it in the bator and it hatched in two days... hatch date may get prolonged. I would wrap with warm, wet rag and place in a cardboard box and leave a light (lamp turned on its side.. whatever) to heat it to 100 degrees. Good luck

I put one of those disposable hand warmers under a damp cloth, then put the eggs on it. That gave them some humidity and warmth from the bottom as well.

Sorry about your little one.

Thanks everyone Im so dumb . I have a broody that is ready to hatch in 5-6 days. I just put the egss under her.

. Im in here trying the hot water bottle the crockpot reading every post from 2008 on hahaha... hubbys says UMMM Nettie put the eggs under Delilah.. Now Im wondering if the antwerp would have hatched

Now, you're gonna have to take the chicks away from her as they hatch so she doesn't abandon the other eggs. Im glad you have her.. use her Keep the chicks in a brooder and, once all the chicks hatch, pu tthem back under her at night when she's snoozing. she should accept all of them that hatch within 5 days. Good Luck
