I have a runner. She is currently sitting on eggs. I've never done this before. She has been sitting g for almost 28 days. She was coming out 1x every 2 days. Now she has been in her cage for about 5 or 6 days now. I give her food and water in the cage. I candle 2 of her eggs about 2 weeks ago. I'd I didn't do them all because I didn't want her to leave them by me touching them. Wasn't sure if they did that or not. I know runners don't sit but she is. With her not coming out what can I do to see if they are enve alive on there. I don't know what to do or how to do it. I really didn't think she would sit this whole time. Any advice is appreciated.

Candle them to make sure they're viable.

I have but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. This looks like it is. That was 5-21 when I looked last night they didn't look the same. I was trying to hurry when I did it because I wasn't sure how to handle them

You pick up the eggs and put them on top of the light and look for living veins and movement. Do other birds of access to this nest?
