Alfie and her eggs are doing well, I have to lift her out 3-4 times a day to have something to eat, drink and have a poop or she would just sit there. Bev the egg lady did warn me that some hens will sit so diligently that they will end up sick or dying because they won't leave the nest so I am removing her (under protest I might add) so she can have a stretch and shake.
Last night I went out and quietly removed her eggs so I could try candling them. After watching a few tutorials I am confident there are a few chicks, the others I am not so sure about just yet. Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to hold an egg, a torch and a camera all at the same time so I couldn't take any pics.
