16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

We aren't counting the chicks before they're hatched...
We're just naming them before they're hatched

Do we have to think of names for the G eggs too?

Very true

Okay, so the temperature in my incubator is ideal in enough floor space of the incubator to allow for four more duck eggs.
How many more should I ask for? I need to text Egg Man sometime this weekend so I get these eggs before they're really behind.

I also FINALLY got a breakthrough my ideas for an essay that I need to write! I had been for 4 hours straight before I finally
Halleluja, now I can actually write this thing!

If you want to.
Those.... things.... are not staying here.
Egg Man doesn't even want any more of them! Beats me why he gave me the eggs to hatch, then

The brahma in that chick is the reason for the light leg feathering.

Really? I would have thought that a Brahma cross would have more feathering on it's toes

Any idea on the single comb? This chick and its doppelganger both have single combs but the only feather-footed roosters Egg Man has are bantam Brahmas.
He has a frizzled black cochin bantam hen but not all of these eggs have been from her and I would think that a black cochin cross would be black.

We can name them things like "Temporary" "Notforlong" and "Adoptable"

I think alot of crosses with feather footed breeds mated with clean legs get lighter feathering, but brahmas are already lighter than cochins anyway. I hatched some bantam cochins with a bantam Orpington father, and only the outer toe was feathered. But the single comb could have come from the cochin, if it was a cochin egg. I forget which combs are dominant.
color would depend what color the parents are too. I think light brahma breeds like dominant silver? Maybe? I'm not good with all that, but I had a light brahma rooster with production reds and all the chicks came out white or black/white like daddy.

Thanks! I appreciate your input
I think someone else on this thread told me that all of the brahma chicks should have either a pea comb or a rose comb depending. I believe pea comb is dominant. I know that single comb is recessive which is why I'm confused about the single comb with these chicks.
I guess I'll have to wait for them to feather out before I can have more of a clue. So far the only chicks with single combs appear to be from the same cross. It's possible they both came from a cochin egg. I know the cochin he has lays a very light egg; I've seen it.
