anyone hatching July 1?

Here they are. I'm thinking both a roosters since they are black sex links.

Mom and babies are in one coop with it closed up. I plan to move her and the chicks to a crate with its own run tonight. I didn't want to move her while she had eggs for fear she would abandon them.

Edit: won't be moving her tonight. We have another pip!

Congrats on your stevie!

We ended up with three chicks, but we had to bring one inside today because it was the last to hatch. Its brothers were ready to go so mom decided to take them put and teach them life skills and Lil bro just couldn't keep up. He's recovering quickly so I plan to sneak him back out tomorrow.
I have 1 lone survivor we have named her Stevie Chick.

We put 8 eggs in the incubator and 2 hatched, one yesterday afternoon and another was there when we woke up this morning:

We have 4 now! And another has a fairly big hole in it's shell and is working on getting out. 2 more have a tiny hole pecked. The last is likely a dud. I'm shocked so many have made it this far, it's my first time hatching and all I did was keep the water filled in the incubator (auto-turner). Didn't touch the thing other than that. And I forgot to unhook the turner for lockdown so I figured I may have killed them. I'm so happy I didn't!
