Welcome Paddy from Ohio in the United States of America! Glad to have you aboard, and I loved your story of how you got started with chickens.......It's wonderful that you got a broody, and I hope you figure out how to take pics soon so we can see the broody mama in action!

Take care,
Sharon

Congrats on your two new chicks

Definitely candle the eggs before you throw them away to see what's going on.
Here's a great thread with pictures of candled eggs: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=261876

Welcome to BYC, from Kentucky!

What part of the west of Ireland are you from? I remember chasing my grandma's broodies under the hedges in Clontuskert, Co. Galway. We made lots of summer visits when I was growing up. Wish I could afford to go back and show my kids around Uncle Tony's place. Love your story!
