Any signs of broodiness?

Turns out egg number 5 is a baby. I saw some veins and it was moving

no she is still laying eggs it seems. I have read some where that she will not set until she has a clutch I live in Florida and its been very hot here. I'm wondering if the heat in the coop will do something to the eggs.

well it may speed up the process but you really need a mama

Ok guys I need your help! My silkie has been brooding for over a week and I need to know if this egg is fertile. She popped all over it so its kinda hard to tell. I don't see any movement or veins but its not clear. It looks kinda black

Looks like there is something in there! Congrats!

Here is one I can see (very light white/blue egg), on day 4. Now I know its fertile. The other eggs are darker but I can JUST make out some veins, but only just.
