Hi everyone,
I have a broody pullet sitting on 9 eggs. I set her up like the following:
I put 9 eggs under her on Saturday at 20:00 (23.02.2019)
On Sunday (yesterday) morning (24.02.2019), she came out for food at 08:00, but the door of the small nest accidentally closed (I wasn't there and I didn't know, I was at work).
The eggs were left open and cold from 08:00 until 17:00 when I came back to home. I found the broody outside waiting for the door to be opened.
I touched the eggs, they were cold because they were left cold for 9 hours. She went back on them.
Is there any possibility that they hatch? Or should I replace them by new eggs?
Btw, I candled the eggs, the air sac was seen clearly in most of the eggs (although I know candling eggs after less than one day is useless).
Please, help. I appreciate your cooperation.
