Will they hatch?

One of my friends had a turkey hen setting on some eggs for about two weeks. Something ate the mama and he wants to incubate the eggs. I'm all for loaning him my incubator but 14 days in to incubation and a cool down for two days? Is it even half likely these eggs will hatch?

Odds are not good after a 2 day cool down but it wouldn't hurt to try! Have they kept them warm at all?

I'm not sure. Thats what I was thinking, maybe if they kept the eggs a tad warmer than roomn temp. they would have a greater chance of hatching. These people have about 16 chickens so I'm guessing they have a heat lamp. Just praying they put the eggs under it.

I just went over there and set up my incubator, the eggs had been outside for two days and were ice cold. But he had three "fresh" eggs, so we're goning to try anyway.

If they had 16 chickens, they could have had one of the chickens sit them.
