egg log!PIPPED!!!!!!!

[Tanichca]

Okay I'm just going to post every day until the hatch.
So today- cleaned the crate where Silver the splash silkie is sitting on 4 silkie and 6 ameraucana eggs. Man did it stink! checked eggs, no pips or peeps, but in one of the ameraucana eggs SOMEONE MOVED! I could seriously feel it through the shell. Awesome!
will the Ameraucana/silkie chicks pick on the pure silkies because they'll be bigger?
Also, my local feed store sells 3 week old leghorn pullets. when my babies are 3 weeks old, can i get some of these to raise and sell as layers?
THANKS

The other silkie eggs are moving around when you pick them up, and Momma hen is clucking at them. No pips or anything on the ameraucana eggs. the little egg with the pip is moving too, as of 3:15 this afternoon, and its squeaking and you can hear sounds like scraping/quiet pounding when you put your ear to it, according to the sibling small enough to fit in the crate. I have sworn on my honor as a human not to look in the coop till 8:00 tomorrow morning. this is going to be a long night.....

checked an hour ago. Momma hen BIT me when I checked. couldn't get her to move off the eggs, even for tomatoes and rice and her other favorite treats. must... not...... check... till..... 8:00.......
Momma was doing something weird. she was bopping her head from side to side over an egg. rather odd.....
