URGENT Will my eggs hatch when they have done cold just two days before due date!

I have a duck sitting with 7 runner duck eggs, they are at 26 days now and I came to find her off the nest this morning and the eggs are cold..... any advice please

Only thing you can do is either incubate them yourself or put her back on the nest. Did something spook her?

We had a thunderstorm. I put her back on them but she is just standing over them?

 

[haz123]

I have just put her in a box with nest and eggs and I am going to put her in a quiet place. Do you think she may sit again? I do not have an incubator!

If that's the case, then let nature take its course nothing much more you can do.

Many thanks, I will let you know how it's gone in the morning.
