Eggs in a small amount of water, half inch or so, for a day or two will not cause a problem. The issue is how long the temps are sub-optimal. If the cage temp is in the mid to upper 80's, you should be alright if you get the eggs in the incubator within a couple of days. If cooler, you may have a problem. HH is correct in that most females will not re-establish maternal incubation once things have been moved. He also pointed to, and I also wonder, if the eggs are fertile. Do they look full size? Some females tend to scatter or not attempt to incubate a clutch of eggs where the majority are infertile.
