So I did a recandle of my broody orp's eggs and one had blood ringed, but the other 15 were good.
I also candled Snap, the other broody's, eggs to see how things were going since it's her first time and to mark her eggs so I could pull out any new ones laid in her nest each day. She had 27 eggs under there
Now, she's a big bird (buff orp/light brahma) cross, but that is a lot of eggs, especially for a first timer. It also looked like one had broken under there so tomorrow I'm going to freshen her nest when she's off it. After candling, it appeared 21 were good. It got to a point that if an egg was too covered in goop, if I couldn't easily see life, I just tossed it.
And she's a biter! Darn bird pecked and bit the heck out of my hand. I ended up sliding her last three eggs under the other broody until tomorrow to avoid any more pecking.
