patterdalejoel 669 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 i have had a broody die on the 19th day, i have put the eggs in the incubator when they were stone cold, and the broody could of been dead at any point from about 9pm to 8am, and all the chicks hatched out healthy without any problems, every single egg hatched, and the eggs were stone cold, so i would say no, they will have a good chance of hatching Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 They will be fine. May take an extra day to hatch but better late than never. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 They will be fine I incubate loads each year,I've taken eggs from the sheds where the broody has left then for two or three days and they still hatch,once beleive it or not I put fertile duck eggs in the fridge till I had enough for a setting and 10 out of the 12 hatched,I didn't think they would hatch at all but a mate bet me they would so I took him up on the challenge,he won the bet Atb 223 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
