Today we got home from our trip to Fiji. Carol had looked after all our chickens very well and Blah was still doing a great job as Mama hen. All eggs are there and accounted for. Trina is seriously contemplating whether we should 'candle' them. Vicky are you and the boys going to do this?

    I am dying to! She was off for quite a while the other day soim not sure we're going to have much luck :( I figure we can see they probably arent going to hatch I could prepare the boys? I am kind of scared to handle the eggs for long though

    Good idea to 'warn' the boys 'just in case'. Here's a link to a site which has some GREAT pictures of candling and how to do it. I recon I can give this a go. http://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-candling.html

    Here's some information on how long a broody can be off a clutch of eggs: http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=70631

    Hopefully they'll be FINE!
