I have five hens and one busy rooster. My White Wyandotte has been sitting on some eggs for two-and-a-half weeks. When I first missed her in the back yard and found her in the coop, she was sitting on about 6 eggs. Since then other hens have layed near her and she scooped the eggs up and is now sitting on 15 eggs.
Here's the problem, I forgot to let them out of the coop before church yesterday morning and when I did let them out later, the door closed and I didn't notice until late in the afternoon so she was off the eggs for between four to seven hours.
Is there any chance that any of the chicks will survive and hatch when the time is right? Thanks
