She said/He said Who's right? Who's wrong? No one!

Honestly I was worried she would set on the right ones the next day and then I would be like "are they dead or alive?" since it's 45 degrees here at night. I did it for myself. Really I did. I'm innocent! 

My broody blueness is worse than my incubation. It's borberline neglect : gig

You win!!!
I'd recommend moving her sooner than later.  If she's 8^tc4y enough, the others may leave her alone, but they will sneak into her nest when she takes a break and add eggs or mess with her eggs.  Some folks have broody eggs broken when other hens mess with the nest.  

They'll be just fine.

It's a pretty boring experience until they hatch.  Then... what fun!!!

When the eggs start hatching that humidity will rise all by it'self.  Megan, follow these instructions very carefully.  Sit down in a chair.  Bend both elbows to 90 degrees so that your hands are in front of you.  Be sure your palms are facing down.  Now, the next steps are very important!  Lean far to the left.  Bring your right hand, keeping the palm down, out to the side.  Then slide your palm onto the seat you are sitting on.  Tuck it under your right cheek. Now, lean very far to the right. Now, bring your left hand, keeping the palm down, out to the side.  Then slide your palm onto the seat you are sitting on.  Tuck it under your left cheek.  Now, you can sit up straight.  When ever you feel the urge to mess with the eggs, unless you have an Amy worthy reason to be doing so, repeat all of these steps.

Ok, I have a ?: If I can't candle how do I know when and if these little guys have pipped internally?

Sometimes you can hear peeping

otherwise, you may not know until there's an external pip.

Sorry about this long quote. I had the chance to catch up or sleep, so I choose the latter. I needed it! Dr found nothing wrong with my 9 year old...? Virus maybe.
That's great!! I'm going to have to try that! I'm not very alpha though. My pets know it, my kids know it...I'll have generate some feminine alpha energy before going out to the coop/run!
I don't know?

Maybe the pattern on my shoes??
Here we go!...this is why you didn't want a broody!
I agree! See how it plays out.
I added it to the list. This year I have a white roo over white, black, buff, and paint hens. I'm going to work toward a paint program. So next year I'll eliminate buff. But I'd like to see what hatches this year. I will also have another cockerel by spring but I don't know what color. It depends on my next couple of hatches.
So similar to pregnancy. Bonding and feeling the baby move. Nature is such a miracle in itself!!
Good luck!! I always set at night, between 9-11pm. That way I wake up with pips in the morning of day 20.
That's great! Congrats!! I like firemen!!

I hope he feels better soon!

I just thought you were interrogating sideWing. All three of those pictures zooming in all at once was intimidating.
