yeah, I don't go out as much as I should. Last week I didn't see anything, peeked in today just because and found 3 eggs

Well I was on here looking for that kind of stuff and they said that if you get a frozen egg just to put it in your fridge and it should thaw out.

do you mean good for eating or hatching?

eating is fine as long as they didnt freeze and crack (allowing bacteria inside). if you are unsure of the age you can put them in water - if they float dont eat them.

for hatching purposes - as long as the embryo didnt start to develop and the egg didnt freeze some should hatch. if the egg gets below 40* the hatch rate will drop.
