Babies are doing wonderful

You are living my dream ... I hope by this time next year to be able to post pictures of my own chickens.
I hope you are too, having chickens has been a experience for sure..lol, it took me 3 yrs to even decide to get chickens as I had to take into consideration my age and my health, if I could not give them the care they deserved, then I didn't need to have them was the way I looked at it. It's taken another year to get brave enough to try hatching my own, I bought the incubator and it sat unused for another 4 months..lol. Thankfully i live in a rural area where most have their own backyard flocks so that should something happen that I can't care for them, they can be gifted to new homes.
 
Just went to look in on the children, their doing fine, not laying on top of each other, not directly under the lamp, so I am going to guess they are comfortable heat wise.. had to put their feeder in a box this afternoon as they took it from being full to half full.. again..lol.. At least this way they won't be as likely to mistake pine shavings for the food.. Been trying to figure out where the guy with the racing stripe down his back came from.. He looks like someone snuck in a egg while I wasn't looking.
 
Congratulations, have your's hatched yet? what breed are they? mine are mutts, I have black sexlinks and then 2 hen's and a rooster that I don't have a clue what they are.
I've actually incubated 3 groups so far. First incubation was 6 silkies, 4 hatched. Second was 3 silkies and 1 hatched (mostly my fault we didn't get all 3, I switched them to another incubator to hatch and had massive humidity problems from then on) and the third was 14 "Fun and Funky" eggs from MPC. 7 hatched out of that group. I have to be done for awhile, I've run out of room!
