We had a thunder storm last night and we were worried for our Bantam. We moved her and her nest inside our shed hoping she would stay on it. This morning she was off the nest and the eggs were cold, 2 out of 6 of the eggs were infertile so we got rid of those. We let the Bantam out and she went straight back to where her nest was previously, so we have put the eggs back there and she has sat again.
We should have left her alone, but we were worried she would die, there was no shelter where her nest was. The rain was horendous, she looked dredful when we brought her in. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Please let us know if these eggs will hatch or whether you think they will have died already. We brought them off ebay they are Jubilee orpingtons and are due to hatch on Friday.

I think they have had it. However I would leave them as is until the weekend just in case.

Doesnt sound too good but wait and see.
I got rid of a clutch once and to my horror they were still viable!!!
Better to be safe than sorry.
