Sorry for the poor quality pics. I do not want to mess with the eggs anymore, but this one is the farthest along. This is the one that was developed partly or 1/2 way when I got it. This is my first clutch. I slid this one carefully forward from the momma.

The egg. No noises yet.

I'm hoping to keep this one if it's a girl. I have that homemade incubator set up in case momma decides to quit sitting. I'm going to block the nest at the bottom and set a waterer that can't spill up to the nest and feed them inside the nest. I need the broody to sit as long as possible on the 6 other eggs. They are all viable and moving.
 
I better get going on making that stationary water station tonight then. It's exciting, but scary for the others.

I do have one not too far behind this one, but the rest have at least a week or two to go. Yikes!
 
This one is an EE/barred rock mix. Inside the egg is a very black chick. The darkest chick of them all so far that I can see.
