help!! Eggs left out of incubator for 3 hours and were cold to the touch. Are they ruined?

[Kanrayhen24]

I've been incubating 2 indian runner duck eggs for 19 days and I took the eggs out for their 30 minute cool down and accidentally fell asleep. I placed the eggs in warm water to try warm them up and then put them back in the incubator. I candled them quickly and can still see all the veins but no movement have I killed these poor babies

I would leave them in the incubator for a few hours and candle again.

Leaving them out for 3 hours will do nothing, but putting them in warm water could have very well caused damage. Egg shells are permeable and will absorb water this can drown the ducklings and/or cause bacteria to penetrate the pores on the egg killing the ducklings.

placing them in water was a bad move........... you will have to wait and see, but if they were in water, my worry would be drowning rather than freezing.

I have seen a guy float eggs in water to check for movement.The eggs hatched.How long were they in water?
