Mother Quail left nest, can eggs survive

[martie47]

My female button quail has been sitting on her eggs for 14 days now. I prepared her cage and made a separator to divide the tank. I went out for about 4 hours and when I came back she had flown over the separator and couldn't get back to her eggs. I felt the eggs and they were cool. She is now sitting on them again. I don't know how long she was off the eggs. Please advise.

Everything should be fine. Hatch date may be prolonged slightly, but the eggs should still be viable.

Thank you for advise. I will keep you posted.
