Incubating eggs lid off for idk how long!!!

[Drex Chick]

HELP! This is my first time incubating eggs, well long story short I tried to have a humidity thermometer in there with them and the egg turner knocked it over it jammed up and the lid popped off sometime in the night, the eggs still felt warmer than room temperature and this was within the first 24 hours. Are they any good?

If the eggs are still warm, odds are that most/all won't be affected by that.

Since it hasn't been a full day since they've started incubating they should be okay. Eggs are very resilient. Candle them on day 8-10 and see if you can spot any development.

I think they’ll be fine, candle them in a few days to verify…
remember, the hen does get off the nest each day, and this cooling has been determined to be beneficial to the developing chicks.

We had our grandbaby unplug ours for 10 hours on day 3 and all that were fertile are still developing at day 17. You should be fine.
