Storms and Eggs

[Choookkksss123]

Hi guys, at the moment we have a MASSIVE storm passing through. I currently have a hen sitting on 5 silkie eggs. My question is can these storms kill chickens in the egg? They are currently on day 7. The lighting is hitting right outside our yard close to where she is sitting.
Thanks

Not unless they get off the nest and the eggs freeze or something. But they can get off the eggs for quite a long time before risking the chicks. I had one end up on the wrong nest overnights couple times, and the eggs still hatched but they were 2 days late.

If she stays on the eggs, they will be perfectly fine; they have nice warm bums

I agree, I'm sure they will be fine as long as the hen doesn't leave them out to freeze.
