Anyone else's eggs hatching soon?

I have some barnyard mix chicks that should be hatching this Saturday. All my chickens are hatchery chickens but we have such a crazy mix of Frizzles, Cochins, Tophats, easter eggers, old English , and the list just goes on.... There is no telling what in the world is going to hatch out. This should be interesting...

Update, hatched 5 chicks this weekend. I believe there are 2 RIRxEE, 1 EE, 2 BRxEE. All are healthy and peeping along in brooder since mama want nothing to do with them. Another batch due 8/4. Hoping she will b a better mom.
 
Ok everybody. I just went down to the coop and candles a couple of the eggs under one of the hens that should be hatching out eggs on Saturday and I saw a chicks beak in the little hollow air sac part of the egg. Doesn't that mean it is hatching really soon?
 
yep won't be long, i have black copper marans and marans X easter eggers hatching, one of the crosses is out and one BCM is pipped. today is day 20 for me.
 
Should they all look like that? Only one has it's beak in the open spot like that. Will she try to get up after that one hatches or will she hang out with the rest for a while? I would hats for her to get up before the others hatch. She is hunkered down in there and she growled at me and tried to remove a chunk from my hand when I tried to look at her eggs. Lol

She won't get up after the first has hatched. As long as the rest are still viable, then she will stay and wait for them to hatch. Good luck!
