Hen left the nest & eggs got cold... will they live?

[Bleenie]

My cochin hen went berzerk when i opened her crate today to let her out in the yard. she didnt come back for about an hour & when i realized it i checked the eggs & they were cold. I immediately moved them under the poor 1st time momma who already had 9 eggs (that makes 18!). she warmed them up while i got the cochin hen back in the crate but i checked them before i gave them back to her...

the veins were good still & i could see the 'speck' but no movement.
They are only about a week in & were doing great.

I pulled one egg because of a WEIRD blood outline in it & i didn't see a speck..:

They should be fine. I've found eggs that had gone all night without Momma, put them in the incubator and they all hatched.

That appears to be what is called a Blood Ring. Here is a definition I found at http://www.resourcesstore.com/egg-incubation-guide/duck-hatching-egg.php

"A ring formed when an embryo dies during the first 4 days of incubation. When examined, the egg looks normal except for a small circle of blood on the yolk."

If that is a blood ring then I am sorry.
