Ive seen alot of examples of proper development but i'm having issues finding examples of "bad" eggs.

I'm Specifically looking for examples of what a rotten egg and looks like when candling.
I got 3 straight run BCM chicks from TSC this last March and ended up with 2 roos and one hen. The hen just decided to go broody! She currently has 5 eggs under her (1 of which is hers, 3 easter eggers and 1 olive egger.) Do BCM hens go broody often and do they make good mothers ?

So i got my chicks on 3/22 and I have started feeding them worms (earth & meal).
The problem is once the feeding fenzy ensues, One of the chicks will end up with the last piece and all the others will chase her around the brooder. Chick size/ pecking order does not seem to play a role...
Last Thursday I picked up my 4 Barred rock girls from the feed store.
Have the chicken fever !
Here is a live cam of the brooder.
