Does this look Normal

And then there were two. Hard to tell if they will follow Olive Egger or Blue Ameracauna. So I think I really was a day off, I set them late on a Saturday night, so Saturday was more the 21st day really. 8 more under her, how long do I wait before giving up?

They may be fine, then. Also, in my first post I meant to ask if other hens can get into her nest, not eggs, but since you posted about the unhappy broody that wanted out, it was probably her jostling that caused the eggs to get crushed, so that answers that.

With them being so crushed, they might become dried out and unable to hatch. Just keep an eye on the situation for now. I wouldn't try moving her.


Okay so days later...two chicks, eight under her still, then yesterday I noticed the last white egg had veining crackage, but from the inside it wasnt a open crack. This afternoon it did the same thing the others did, the whole top cracked and started falling off. Pretty sure that chick is dead. Brought it in and put it under the brinsea brooder, as I know for sure either momma or the hatched chick distroyed the first two I posted pictures off. It was grusome. I didnt post about that before. So my question is I have 7 still under her, tonight is the end of day 24. I cant candle as they are dark shelled. How long to I leave them? On the up side, both chicks are drinking from the nipple waterer and eating. Not sure when to stop and just let her raise those two. And what is it with the white shells eggs, all three did the same thing.
