Help! :(

I've had a hen sitting on eggs for the last 8 days and last night she sat on the wrong eggs and I would say it's been 5 hours that the eggs went unsat on. So when I saw I placed her on the correct clutch. What's the chances of these hatching?

That's not too horribly long of a time, especially if it was just once... betting that the eggs are fine unless it was near freezing during that time... just keep your eye on her and make sure she gets back to the right nest when she takes a break...

Thank you! The coop was no less than 75* so I'm really hoping they're ok. It's so much work hatching id hate for her to have to start over

I'd say the eggs are fine, especially since it's been so hot lately. I had a batch of eggs in the incubator one time and the power went out for like all night and every one of the eggs hatched. So long as the natural temperature isn't COLD, they should be fine.
Good luck!

At that temp it sounds like they'll be fine! Good luck and hope she hatches lots of fluffy butts!
