These are the chuckoo maran eggs she's been setting on. One more week to go!!
With only a week to go, she's off the nest every day -for no more than 30 minutes. Her feathers remain all puffed out even when she's off the nest.
Blossom originally went broody in the coop with all the other hens, but thankfully, she graciously accepted the move to the brooder box early on. So, no worries about the hens laying fresh eggs on top of the soon-to-hatch eggs. Also, the ground level brooder box should allow newly hatched chicks easy access to the enclosed pen while they're still small.
