Muscovy Duck Eggs questions.

[micahdanielr]

I have a question regarding my Muscovy duck eggs. My hen just started sitting on her eggs SAT morning and I decided to take them away and place Cayuga eggs under her instead (on Tuesday night). I-took her eggs and placed them in a nest where my Other muscovy hen is going to go broody soon. Are the eggs ok getting cold after being incubated only 2 1/2 days? Or are they dead now?

After 2.5 days of incubation I would expect there may be enough development that chilling will kill them.
