Are these okay

Posting pictures of 2 silkie eggs. Day 9 under a broody.

One of the eggs has a terrible shell and has micro cracks through it.

The other last 2 pictures i suspect there is a death ring.

Let me know your thoughts.

None of the eggs pictured is developing.
Does she have other eggs under her that are developing?

She has 3 others but one she pushes aside.
Do these look like they were fertile but stopped developing?

It's tough to tell in the pictures but I don't think so. If she is pushing one aside, it may have quit. I'd candle it. When are the eggs due to hatch?

In about 12 days. One of the eggs she's sitting on definitely has veins but i was concerned about the two in rhe pictures

Does anyone know this- do mother broody hens eat the dead eggs to get rid of them?
