I'm candeling tonight! She's great. I worry a little because when she takes her breaks she draws a lot of attention with all the clucking and fluffed feathers so a couple hens follow her around and bother her. She's pretty fierce when it comes to her nest, though, so no one is bothering her inside the coop.

I'm also dealing with this mess... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sinus-infections.1074036/page-4#post-28793785

'Special' certainly keeps me on my toes.

Yeah, they do draw attention but after the chicks hatch the other hens will realize they don't want any part of that

I hope so! I know I'm a little scared to reach under her tonight to candle those eggs! Gloves and a long sleeve!

Expect the worst hope for the best Since it'll be dark you may not get to much attitude out of her. Take pics of any that you're unsure about and we'll help you out. I'm so excited for you! And don't stress about your special girl, the educators will give you all the info you need, and I'm confident you'll do just fine!

I'm going to take pictures of all 5! I imagine the hardest one will be the heavy bloom. Only one way to find out! I'm involving my partner because he's actually showing more interest in the chickens now.

Now your partner will start wanting certain breeds. If he needs help picking a breed (cough..more Marans) I'm in a forum near you and willing to enable.

The sub-section to chicken math will initiate soon.

I did it! Looks like 4/5 developing. I'm stupid though, I put the clear one back. I probably should have tossed it, huh?
