You got them right. The group pic of the ones you didn't know are the solids that are split for mottled. Birds that carry mottling often have a white belly and show tiny white face spots just like these have. Looks like black and duns

My baby dried out and fluffy.

Dry it looks Milli Fleur don't you think?

The chick that had the side pip I helped out it s head was under its wing. I just pulled enough shell off so it could get in the right position. Upped the humidity and put it back in the incubator. It was dry and up running around last night. This morning it was dead. It had clean legs and was about the same color. Still one egg with no pip. It may be a late quiter. I'm going to give it until tomorrow.

Yes, it looks more like a light Mille now. Sorry about the other one. Have had that happen on rare occasions, but I have so much better luck with broody hens hatching them.

I have 4 eggs in my next hatch and I have stopped gathering eggs so if the girls want to hatch they can.

Thanks again Aubrey for your input. That is good to know the dark ones with the white bellies and face spots could be the ones that are split to mottled. I did have 3 more chicks hatch, so all 4 of the MF eggs hatched. 3 are very golden and the last one to hatch is very yellow with a little black streaking on the wings. What does that mean? I almost think the 3 dark ones are roosters and the light one a pullet? So I ended up with 14 chicks, which is amazing for shipped eggs!

Thanks SO much for the beautiful chicks!

I just can't get over how adorable they are!!
