Just hatched out 5 Silver Sussex , 3 are black with yellow face and 2 are all black, wish I had more

I'm working on crossing SLW with SIlver Sussex right, hopefully in 20 years I'll have my own breed. Lol

  10 hatched , 3 more pipping, 14 waiting for anything- no progress. this is a holding brooder made out of an old Chester drawer , they will go into the big brooder tomorrow morning, so far so good, just wish the other 14...

Well no need to help they hatching by the hr,, new problem not enough heat in brooder going to hardware to fix this

Ok the 4 that I helped are all out , 3 SLW , and 1 SS, 5 more have pip thru gonna leave them along & if no change in the morning I'll help them too!!

Got two now but got a new problem too, they keep disturbing the other eggs and mixing them up

  the 3rd lil one busted out, the 2nd looks like maybe another hr or and he will come out to, the first one that pip last night is no change

Ok, will wrap the opening with damp paper towel, leaving there beaks exposed
