Does you showing off your feathers look something like this:

you know it does mare

Candle at dark, red. You know what to look for?

I mean how many day a do I need to wait before candling? Seven days? Am I looking for veining? Will it be moving?

How old are the eggs? I would candle to make sure the six you choose aren't at different stages of development. I had a broody take over a nest that was abandoned by a different broody. Some eggs were a week behind. She killed every single chick that hatched "early" by her estimates. When the rest hatched a week later, she was an excellent mother. So now I make sure the eggs aren't that staggered.

They're all within four days apart.

So I would pick the six that look closest together.

So even if they weren't being sit on, will they still be in different stages?

Nope. But I would still check.

I'm the overly cautious sort.

Ok thank you. Am I looking for veining and movement?

I just use the Bisquick recipe.


Directions

• 1 Heat 1 1/2 cups milk, the peas and carrots, chicken and soup to boiling in 3-quart saucepan, stirring frequently.
• 2 Stir Bisquick mix and 1/3 cup milk until soft dough forms. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto chicken mixture (do not drop directly into liquid).
• 3 Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer.

I probably cooked them 5 min. all together.

guess they are raw then. oh well they ate it. LOL thanks

Thank God granny I thought you wanted me to cook the eggs for five minutes. I didn't think that sounded right. Thought they'd at least need ten minutes

I don't know, now I'm second guessing myself. If she's only been setting a few days you might not see any development yet. Maybe the black dot, or some veining.
