Haha! I haven't candled yet. I don't want to disturb her!

I watch for roos that are not too loud. and I put mine away separate at night. I even sound proof with egg cartons. I like a good roo. If you put them in a night box that they cannot stretch their neck and it is dark you will be fine.

We are down from 12 eggs to 8. I tried candling, but I couldn't tell much.

Hoping for 8 little chickies!

Oh no what happened?? Did they crack?

When I did the candeling it took me a bit to find a bright enough light to see, but when I finally found one it was easy peasy! I used a 100watt bulb without a shade, then used a paper cup with a dime size hole in the bottom to project the light onto the egg Fingers crossed for your 8 left!!

They're gone! I did see some pieces in the bottom of the nest.

I think that was my problem. I tried using a flashlight and it just didn't work.
