It sounds to me that your humdity was too low it should be at about 70 to 80 i think but other than that (and i dont mean this as a put down at all) but it seems like you might have bad genetics within your flock, maybe some bad chromosomes or something...maybe try something from online or...
Its day19 on the verge of 20 and my bantie egg has pipped and I can hear it peeping inside the egg! its my first bath that has made it this far! im so excited! God is such a miracle creator putting a whole chicken inside of a teeny tiny egg! and then bringing them this far for me!
they're so cute! especially your little grey one! If I had to guess right off the bat, I'd say a muscovy but magpies have splashed feet too :) a good way to find out if you want further clarification would be to go to hatchery sites and look at the pictures of ducklings and compare :)

ages looks about right except for maybe the wyandotte and the second to last pic they might be a bit younger i cant tell for sure if they still have down. As for that mysterious RIR my hens looked JUST like that and i dont believe any of them are true RIR. Your girl might be a production red or...
id say the last four would be roosters and the others hens i dont know much about this breed but the redder comb makes me think male on the last four pretty birds btw!
well i definatley see red pyle hens and roosters but i didnt see any japnese to speak of. the mottle one in the last pic MIGHT be one. They're very squatty little things ^.^ dont get something you dont want just becuase the seller says its a cerain breed. not that im saying hes lying but i didnt...
I'm not sure if this could be a case of bumblefoot none of my other chickens have it but this bird and the rest of the Pyles for that matter, have been sickly for some reason ever since they got their adult feathers help? the brown stuff is just poop/mud however the tips of his toes are way...
