Well first let me start by saying I caught the broody hen hen off her nest last night eating so I took the chance to candle the eggs again yes again. All were good but after I was done candling I realized that there is 12 eggs. All eggs are at the same stage so she laid an egg when she started...

She has 11 eggs under her. Hope they all hatch. They are due Valentines day. I didn't think she would set if I moved her and touched the eggs but she did. I kind of wanted to brake her so I could keep getting eggs. Oh well, she is setting and we will have to see how this goes. Lets hope...
