My zebra finch pair were doing fine for a very long time, until one day my female zebra finch started to chase away the male finch. She has eggs that she needs to incubate and since they have been fighting and don't seem to be on very good terms, the eggs were left there for a good 30-45 minutes or so exposed. I have now separated them, and she is now back on the eggs.
My question is how long can a female be away from her eggs? Is it possible that the eggs will still have a chance of hatching?

Good eggs hatch 14-16 days after laying.
They will be fine. Unless the temps are extreme, they can be off the eggs for a couple of hours.
