How cold can an egg get before it becomes infertile? The temp outside is absolute frigid! I'm checking often... but still curious.
ZONES OF COLD INJURY / EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT
I have had minor issues with cold eggs from the coops unless extreme cold/frozen, sometimes when it gets extremely cold and the eggs do freeze you should candle them to look for cracks, when you bring them in the cracks can easily be missed by our eye, but a candle you should see the small cracks.

The temperature at the lower end of this range is sometimes referred to as ‘Physiological
zero’ - the threshold temperature for embryonic development. Unfortunately different organs
appear to have different thresholds resulting in an unviable entity.
Zone of suspended development (-2°C - 27°C/28.4 - 80.6°F)
Below about 27°C (80°F) no embryonic development takes place. Prior to incubation, eggs
must be stored in this temperature range (preferably around 15°C/59°F).
Zone of cold injury ( -2°C/28.4°F)
Below this threshold ice crystals will start to form in the egg and permanently damage may be
done to internal structures. Eggs may lie for some considerable time in temperatures close to
freezing without suffering damage.
Thanks a bunch! I should be good then... I'm sure they didn't get that cold. Setting in the am! Yay! can't wait!
Great! Make sure and give updates!
I love love love him! And I'm not sure I've seen that particular pic either. Nice one.
Well, here's mine -- 16 little speckled eggs still just a-layin' there. No pips yet.
Although I think I saw a slight bobble last night.
I hope they start rockin soon!
That would be nice. It would kill me if I had rockers and had to leave.I hope they wait till tomorrow, so I can watch cot tv all evening!
Hmm, that would be nice- It would kill me if I had rockers and had to leave...
Part of the reason I set Saturday was so I'd be home when they (hopefully!) hatch.
