Anyone else hatching?

Just hatched the (final) eggs of the summer season 4 days ago: Pekin ducks. It's a relief to be done and see a light at the end of the managing poultry babies tunnel as well.
 
I just hatched out quail and chickens, I have quinea , quail and chickens set now.
 
I have a young Salmon Faverolle hen who went broody. I gave her 5 eggs 3 green 1 blue 1 dark brown. She is scheduled to hatch today into tomorrow. I also have a batch of Ameraucana Mix eggs in the incubator schedule for October 6th hatch. I also have a order of Salmon Faverolle hatching eggs off eBay schedule to be delivered tomorrow that will go in the incubator Tuesday.

Eggs are starting to pip. She's only 7 months old so I'm monitoring closely and hopefully she's a good Momma.
 
I know I have 2 of the naked necks. I unfortunately lost mine (on my birthday no less) to a bobcat. I personally didn't want to hatch any more out as we live in WV and winters are kinda cold. The other 15 eggs are a complete mystery though. I'm so excited. I'm rebuilding my flock since Mr.Bear and Mrs.Bobcat came to visit.... I plan to candle the eggs with my son tonight he thinks it's so cool ( Oliver will be 7 in October. So I'm still cool..lol) I've never gotten any of these super dark brown eggs before so I'm truly excited for my mystery birds 😁
 
I couldn’t help myself and set some eggs earlier this month! I have a Hmong cockerel and had a fibro Egger cockerel. Hens were buff Brahma, blue Ameraucana, and Easter Egger ◡̈

I hadn't check on the incubator for the past three days (it's in the back office), and just heard loud peeps as I walked past the door. I hurried in to find 3 very cold guinea keets, one partially out of the shell dead, and the rest of the eggs very cold. The thermostat sensor had came loose from the lid and was laying on the turner, and the thermometers were reading 69.8 and 70.0°F. Those poor babies! I'm so upset...😭
