Setting Today (03-02-2012)

I still have three that show no pips and have not moved. How long do I wait before seeing if they are alive?

More than half of my eggs were supposed to be Easter Eggers, but not one of my chicks has the green/slate colored legs. They are all bright orange but they came from green/olive eggs. hmmm. Several of the chicks have feathered feet too. Most of the chicks hatched when I was at work or through the night so I didn't see which eggs they came from.

This is what I was told the eggs were:

Four of them are supposed to be pure French Black, French Blue copper marans, and /or Wheaton Marans. Three of those eggs hatched.

Twelve of them are from Barred Rocks, Cuckoo Marans,and Ameracana hens with a Wheaton Marans rooster.

A few of the babies look like chipmunks, one is blonde, some are a silver/gray color and a few are black with yellow. I can tell the Barred Rock mixes because they have the yellow legs with black shading.
 
Sorry wish i could help, my babies, bantam Cochin's, have fuzzy legs! Do you have any pics? Maybe if someone on here sees them they could help you determine what kind they are

Not the best hatch rate, but I got chick #2 today. So now flower isn't all by herself. This one was marked RCBL and was pipped by 4am and looks like hatched about 5am.
