Will my duck eggs hatch

[IJP28]

I have just bought 24 eggs from the farmer and they are cold but they are five days old do you think they will still hatch

If fertile and not exposed to excessively low temperatures they should hatch.

I think they were 7 degrees

A lot of factors will come into play with this. I know people who have bought eggs from a grocery store and hatched them. Now hatch rate was lower but they did it!

Do you know for sure if the eggs they were selling were fertile eggs? How are you incubating them?

I'm hoping that was centigrade, and even that was a bit on the low side. Viability may have been impacted.

Yes they were fertile and incubating with a fan
