Eggs rolled

In February 14 I had a clutch laid. Pretty much the whole clutch was infertile except 6 eggs. So I set them up in a small container. All my other containers are bigger. I'm just trying to set up the seen for you guys.
About 2 weeks ago my wife was in the egg closet and for whatever reason she picked up the container not knowing what was inside.(she thought that only the bigger containers had eggs, SHE WAS WRONG!!!) Well they all rolled to on side of the container.
I figured that would have killed them all but the eggs still look great. I candled them this morning and they are all near to hatching.
My question is if they died wouldn't the eggs have gone bad by now. (Molded over)It has been 2 weeks. I know they can be rolled in the first 2 months but these guys are in there last month.
I'd love some input.

I've rolled Panther eggs after the first 2 months and most survived. I did put the eggs back in their original position immediately after dropping them.
I've also watched eggs change position in the last month or two as they get bigger and are too close together not to rotate, the orientation mark I put on top ends up on the side or even the bottom. The main difference being they rotate slowly when movement is from the eggs growing which I imagine occurs all the time in the wild. When eggs move from growing I leave them alone and still have good hatch rates.
 
Well I have my figures crossed. I def feel much better today than the day they were rolled. (I mean the day I found out)It was def upsetting to me because they are so far along.
And I never repositioned them. I don't mark my eggs so I have no idea what side is up and such is down. I just left them exactly the way they were.
I actually didn't find out till the next day. I was just checking on all my eggs just to see how they were doing and I discovered them that way. That's right. That's how I found out. There was no pillow talk the the night of when it happened. Do you guys get where I'm going with this??

I wish you the best with your eggs!!
I know this is serious but I couldn't help cracking up about the no pillow talk..lol!:p
 
CHECK THIS PICTURE OUT!!!!! These are the eggs that my wife rolled. What does this mean. Does it mean that the embryo stays free floating. Or did all 6 eggs roll perfectly back in the right position. NO WAY. There are 6 eggs. Not possible.
I'm so exited to see these eggs hatching. There were only 6 good eggs in the entire clutch. The rest were infertile. I don't know if I got lucky or if I possibly discovered a little something by rolling these eggs at 5 months.

Craig you can let your wife out of the dog house, I personally think your eggs will hatch.:) Picasso would be proud!
 
Hey Laurie. She is officially out of the dog house!! Lol. These babies are from my red body boy. I know it's only 6 but the cool thing is now I can offer 6 unrelated pairs!!
I actually had a Picasso baby hatch today too. 3 eggs left to go in that clutch. Wish they would hurry up!!
 
And thank you guys for the congrats. It's very very exiting. So far ALL of my babies are doing great. (Talking about the 31 babies that have hatched over the past 2 weeks from my other clutch)
This clutch of 6 was a red body blue bar male to a red bar female. How cool would it be if I got a red body red bar out of this clutch.
