Thanks for clearing that up! I had been counting the 12th as day 1 earlier in this post than switched cuz i was unsure lol. Eta: well maybe not . i thought i was counting the 11th as day 1 saying this was day 11. But if i count the 12th as day 1 this is day 11. So i apparently suck at math and...

I candled again! Day 11. ( she started on these eggs oct 11th. Im counting that as day 1. ) I still.didnt see a lot of detail. However i saw movement in all 5 eggs!!! 🎉 🎉 Momma is doing great. She is coming out just to eat and drink and poop and quick bath. and she goes right back in. I...

I posted some pics above. What do you think. Im going to try again tomorrow. I used the paper towel tube but couldnt see anything. I didnt try it with the new flashlight though.

Hi. I took some pics. I bought a 500lumen flashlight and still not getting a great look. Im in a completely dark room. :/ idk. This is what i got. Im feeling like they are all duds. Day 9.

i did them all and they all looked the same. No where near the detail like in those pics. But the fat end did look like the day 6 pic there. I will try again.

What do you think i should do to mitigate that? Im also considering that they might be able to get out of the chicken wire. I might need to reinforce the bottom with hardware cloth like @fuzzi suggested. Eta: oh. I get it block up the area underneath lol. Thanks.

Thanks! I just watched a youtube video of a guy candling his eggs and it looked very similar to what im seeing. . Im gonna try again this weekend. Ill try your trick and have husband take some pics.

@aart Oh kind chicken guru. Can i get your insight? Ok so today she was locked in till i got home at 2. I opened the little door and she stayed on the nest. About half our later i went out and saw her in her pen. She ate, drank and started to dirtbath. I came back out about 20 min later and she...

Yup. She was. Yay!

So she was out for a bit this AM. Maybe an hour. When she went back in husband shut the door. I went out there when i got home and when i opened the hatch on the top and went to touvh her she trilled at me and fluffed up and flared her tail. Thats a good sign right? Does that mean shes still...

Ugh husband opened the door. He said she didn come out then. He said she is out now. I guess we wailt and see. Im at work till 1:30

Shes been sitting on eggs over a week now. Should we keep her locked in a day or 2? We moved her and her eggs last night.

The pen is in the main run which is not covered. My flock has about 4k square feet of my yard to free range in. They used to have the whole property but i got tired of my bushes getting dug up. They all get locked in the big coop at night. ( thats the red building there)The fencing is mainly to...

Husband made this this weekend out of pallets and plywood. Have an unplanned broody we are moving in there tonight! What do you all think? The plastic is in case it rains till he can finish the roof with shingles
