Any hope for my eggs?

I have to imagine they still stand a good chance of hatching. When I used to own ducks, we hatched eggs that had literally been laid in the water and were sitting in 60 degree water overnight. In the wild, BPs aren't regulating their temps and process as scientifically as we do. Life is miraculous. GL

I think you eggs will be just fine but I want to point out that bird eggs can be refrigerated and still hatch, as long as they are cooled BEFORE incubation starts. A bird egg will not start to develop until the mother or father actually start to brood and brings it up to incubation temps. Unlike reptiles bird don't lay all eggs at once. They may be laid over a period of multiple days and when the mother has laid all her eggs she will begin to sit, which will ensure that they all hatch around the same time. Just an FYI.
