I do not believe that this is true! - DIS ( dead in shell) unfertile, are what the eggs are called if they aren't hatched .... Thunder and lighting, can not cause DIS, It though not impossible, but it is highly unlikely ..... Edited August 2, 2008 by KAZ Link to comment

So, if someone once had a hen that got scared off her nest in the night by thunder and lightening and didnt go back to keep her eggs warm...then in that case I guess it can happen. But mostly its a myth. Edited August 2, 2008 by KAZ Link to comment

However if she leaves them and returns without having addled the eggs, the eggs should still hatch. Thunder and lightening cannot kill the eggs itself directly.
