Too cute! Can't wait for a broody to hatch her own.
What is Momma? She kinda looks like a Silkie, but I've never seen them with no face feathers.

Bought a new flashlight today for candling The one I was using was so big around, it made my hand cramp. Lol So, even though its only day 5, I couldn't resist seeing how well it would work. Candled 26 chicken eggs and saw veining in 23!!! I will check the last 3 again Friday b4 I give up in them. Then Monday, turkey egg candling time!

What kind of flashlight did you get? I'm new at hatching and I have a really hard time candling. I can't seem to see very well and not at all into the maran eggs!!
