They look around day 10 to me.

Thanks!

Sorry, I candled but I forgot to take pictures.

I candled again yesterday.

Here are the photos. (Sorry that they aren't great quality)

I wrote on the pictures with questions and the egg number.

Egg number 1. I saw movement in this egg.

I also forgot to post, this is an egg (one that she wasn't sitting on) for comparison.

Is there something I'm supposed to be doing?

Going to candle eggs again - if @PippinTheChicken's guess was correct, it should be day 13-14.

Ok, here’s todays! I didn’t get pictures of them all, but here are a couple photos.

Ok, or is it possible that it was layed later and is then a day or two behind?

Could be. Keep it under just in case.

Still impatiently waiting, but the eggs are looking fuller when I last gave them a quick candle. (its hard to see anything)

They should hatch on/by this weekend-she's been sitting on them for at least 17 days (I noticed on the 1st) and she likely was sitting a couple days longer.

I now have an incubator, so once the first egg hatches I'll get it fired up and ready to go in the case of her leaving the nest. (I'll also get a brooder set up in case something goes wrong)
