Incubation emergency!

[squeek1964]

Hello all, I have had a hen sitting on a nest of eggs for about 3+ weeks, today I went out and discovered she had been taken by a fox! The eggs have been without her for up to 2 full days(I'm not sure if it was last night or the day before). I rushed the eggs in and put them under a heat lamp and will be going out to get an incubator shortly. Is there any chance for these keets or anything i might be able to do?

may be??? -and might candle them ?????? I wouldn't be too optomist. time is erigent-and turning. luck + GOD with you.

Depends on the exposure and temperature. How long was she setting? You might want to incubate for a couple weeks and candle them- that will tell you if any are viable.
Good luck
