Will these eggs hatch???

[Stormy]

I have had a broody hen sitting on her eggs for well over a week now. Last night when I candled them, they showed movment.

She had a change of heart today and was off the eggs. The eggs were cool to touch so I know she was off them long enough for that to happen.

I moved the eggs and put them under another broody hen. Is there a chance they survived this and will hatch?

Yes, there is a chance. It depends on how long they weren't brooded. Wait a couple days and candle them again. I had a similar incident. One of my broody hens knocked two eggs from her nest (accidental-she is one of the clumsiest chickens I've ever seen). When I found them they were cool to the touch. I'm going to candle them tonight to see if they're still viable. Good luck to you.
