I'm getting the itch. Anyone want to hatch some eggs?

My DH said I learned more than I should have, says a learned women is not a safe women

To much chicken knowledge and a year later 50+ chickens, 3 Geese and 4 turkeys.... 8 adult rabbits, 7- 2 month old rabbits and 25 newborns....

I stay busy around here :)

Just placed the eggs under the hen. She growled at me *normal* but didn't bite me *weird*. I don't think she's gotten up since last night, as I can't find the infamous 'broody poop' anywhere in her cage. *big dog crate*
 
Here is my unscientifical candle prior to putting the eggs in the bator on Wednesday, 7/23. I am not a good photographer, have never candled before, & don't have a good camera, so most of my pics didn't turn out at all. But out of these, does anyone see anything that might look like it should? I couldn't see anything that looked like any air cell pics I've seen on the internet.
Egg #5:

Egg #13 side, then top view:


Egg #14:

Egg #15 (does anyone think this might be a speckled sussex egg?) side, then top view:


3 eggs whose #s I am unsure of:



Do any of these eggs look viable?

We just got the broody pen finished.. I swear, we keep saying were going to rig up something, then I have a broody and we improvise... This time we took half the chick run (not in use, just an open area next to the main coop) chicken wired it off so she can still get a nice breeze on the hot daysbut not have the other girls messing with her, put in a dog crate and now just waiting til late tonight before we move her... She got kicked off her nest today by an older hen and sat in another nest with eggs so I know we have to move her...Hope it all works out and she doesn't flip a lid and pop out of it

If you are candling prior to incubating there is no way to tell... Some of those look porous but I have successfully hatched out porous eggs so I wouldn't worry to awfully much... Candle again in 5-7 days and then you will know which ones are viable or not.
