@Blooie did you see the seedling heat mat to egg nest warmer conversion? If you've got electricity in your coop, that might work for you. Or then you can fill a sock with rice, throw it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes and put it under the bedding in the egg nest.

Another thing you can do (and this works to distinguish between a boiled and raw egg too), is to spin the egg, and then quickly stop the spin by placing you hand on it for just a fraction of a second. If the inside is liquid, it will continue to spin slightly afterwards because the insides are...

"Chef's surprise" - Even the chef is surprised!

@camilla and dot I think it's interesting to follow the size and amount development, so I warmly recommend it. @3goodeggs But isn't plopped pretty descriptive still? It can be a miraculous plop, or something...

Bleh, only 1 egg today again... 4 broodies out of 5 layers.

5/5 yesterday, though Wilma is showing signs of going broody. Hopefully Emma will start laying soon.

You'll probably get a dark brown or olive color out of her. What shape is her comb?
