Krystal, I am sure that someone will be along to help, but I do know that an egg can be cold for a while and still hatch into a healthy chick. Goodluck!!

Hello Krystal,
As I understand it, hens will reject eggs that they feel are not viable. How many are left that she is still sitting on? How long has she been sitting?
You could try candling the eggs to see if there are live chicks inside.
I am not that experienced but I certainly wish you luck

The broody will kick out the eggs that are not viable. I would remove them and hope the rest are ok.
