moving eggs

[thedubs]

Hello all, just a quick question, i put in some new nest boxes last week,yesterday evening i moved a nest bowl with 2 eggs from the floor to the boxes, these eggs were due to hatch on monday coming.

This morning when i went in one of the eggs was smashed and the other was cold meaning neither cock or hen sat them over night (they were quite happy when i left them).

Will the remaining egg hatch after not being incubated for approx 12 hrs

 

Thanks

unfortunately I doubt if it will hatch, you would have been better leaving the bowl on the floor :-/

it may do if its now being incubated. You would have been best to lock the birds in the box but i would have left them where they were!

Yeah your both right i should have left well alone but got carried away wanting things looking right, i moved the bowl back to the floor this morning and their sitting it straight away, so heres hoping

when racing birds basketed fri afternoon and return sat afternoon go straight back on there eggs and 95% still hatch.

It hasn't been that cold overnight so should be ok.
