I went let my chickens out of their coop, I checked on my broody hen and when she got off the nest to go get food there were six eggs under her. I haven't noticed them before because I don't like disturbing broody hens and as all of my other hens had stopped laying as they are also broody I didn't think she would be able to collect any. Stupidly, I was ignorant and now have six eggs that I think are at different stages. what day do you think each of these eggs are at?

To my surprise one hatched yesterday!
Which one hatched? was it number 6? because most of the ones I see are not anywhere near hatching, though some are pretty hard to tell. I'd say at the time of the pictures they would have been anywhere from 1 week to 2 weeks for most of them.

Usually when they are ready to hatch the egg is filled solid and looks dark everywhere except the air cell.
 
Yeah it was #6 :) I was candling them and realised there was a pip in the egg, I put it straight back in the incubator and it hatched the following night :jumpy
