Very nice! Is there any specific reason why you don't let the Mother hatch them? I would feel terrible taking eggs from mine, and its so much easier when you let them hatch their own out I would think.

I don't think the lady I got the eggs from would let me borrow her hens.
Also, People pick up the eggs so the hen will keep laying. If you let her sit them, she will lay 4-6 and then go broody and stop laying. Pick them up and she keeps laying longer.
