Default Stupid question !? Leo Eggs...

Peeps,

'Like a Fool' I managed to knock one of my egg holding boxes out of the incubator shelf this morning and for about 10 seconds it was upside down.
Luckily the eggs were marked right way up and were v quickly righted.
They are about 35 days in to incubation and the last lot popped at about 44 days.

Any ideas if I have probably killed them off or are they likely to be ok ?

And yes - I am very gutted....

so long as they didn't land with a hard 'splat' then there's a good chance they'll be ok ~ just keep an eye on them and your fingers crossed

yeah as per sleepy's comments i think they will be fine, they are alot more hardy than people think and should be able to survive that.
