February/March 2017 Hatch-a-long

I'm hopping on over from the February hatch a long. I have 4 eggs due on the 7th. I'm not used to such a small batch of eggs! These chicks will be full Marans, fingers crossed. I noticed by Gold Laced Bantam Cochin figured things out with one of the Marans girls so I took the last four darkest that I had on the counter. Fingers crossed for blue and splash only! 3 out of 12 of the Wheaten Marans eggs I hatched last week turned out to be his lol That was a surprise.
 
Oh looky looky

I put 32 eggs in yesterday at 5 pm, dropped the temp to 99.5 from previous hatch that was at 100 degrees and in that hatch i had 2 chicks hatch on day 18, 4 on day 19 and the remaining 9 over the next 3 days, hope the temp drop will make this hatch occur in a 24 hour period on day 21.
 
I had promised to myself that the batch I have for the 11th was going to be my last one but after candling two nights ago my isbar mailed eggs quit on me and only one is developing along with my meat bird eggs, so I guess I'm gonna toss in another 16+ eggs in two days if they dont sell at the bay.
 
Hi everyone! I set about 15 surprise eggs yesterday and will add 14 more mixed eggs tomorrow (Easter egger, barred rock, black sex link, either swedish flower or salmon favorolles, and a bunch I have no clue what they are lol). Shipped eggs. I might post the mystery eggs with their written codes and see if anyone wants to guess!

I put 20 mix breed eggs in some time late February and they are supposed to hatch the 18th of March. I candled them today and 15 out of 20 are growing but the 5 that I think are not are green so they may be good or not I am not sure this is my frist first time hatching so hope something happens
 
I candled for day 7 today, I think my Carolina Sex Link egg isn't fertile, it hasn't developed from what I can tell, how long should I wait to see any changes?
