So despite my best efforts, Peaches has won and is now doing her darndest to become a mom! She laid 3 eggs approx 2 weeks ago on the bottom of the cage and was nesting there until about 7 days ago when I transferred them to an open, large nesting bowl. Then she laid 2 more (approx 7 and 9 days after the first 3) and just laid a 6th egg today, which is around 14 days since the first egg. What is going on?
Will she potentially have chicks that are older than the rest, or are the first ones duds and she's starting over? She hasn't kicked any eggs out of the nest and both birds are actively nesting together. I would like to "candle" the first three eggs too see, but I already noticed one for sure that is dark and heavier.
Help!

The last two were too new to tell, so I will check again in a week to see for viability. I discarded the first three as well. OMG! So excited!
