Waiting, Eggs, More Waiting

So, we have our hens and a rooster. Hen and Rooster get 'friendly' and those eggs should get sat on by hen until little chicks come out right?? As of right now, we have a nest with 6 eggs in it, but no hen setting on there yet. The first egg was laid Monday, the last one today. I'm hoping that over the next day or two we will start to see some hen setting going on in the coop.

According to The Old Farmers Almanac  

How to Calculate Dates to Set Eggs

• Chicks take about 21 days to hatch.
• Those born under a waxing Moon, in the fruitful signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, are healthier and mature faster.
• To ensure that chicks are born during these times, determine the best days to "set eggs" (to place eggs in an incubator or under a hen.)
• To calculate the best days to set eggs, find the three fruitful birth signs. Find in your Almanac or purchase your own Moon's Sign Calendar here.
• Using only the fruitful dates between the new and full Moons, count back 21 days to find the best days to set eggs. See Moon phases for your area.
• Example: the Moon is new on June 12 and full on June 26. Between these dates, on June 13 and 14, the Moon is in the sign of Cancer. To have chicks born on June 13, count back 21 days; set eggs on May 23.

I have discovered that waiting on a hen to do something...well, it can drive you batty! I keep checking to see if there are more eggs or what's going on out there and nada. I think I might be driving them crazy. 

We tried to candle the eggs earlier to see if they are fertile, but it was still too light out. So, we get to brave the mosquitoes and try again in a little while. Yay, love those mosquitoes.  ;-) We (I) am really hoping they are fertile and chickies are just waiting until there are enough eggs in there to complete their clutch for them to hatch. 

I've read so much information online that I don't even believe I am processing it anymore.  But mostly, I found that average time you should candle the eggs is 7 days and that yes, the hens wait until they have the right number before they sit. So, now for more waiting. No candling until Monday night :-(
