Barred rock is shown by the spot on its head. With how small the dots are I'd say hens

Do you have separate brooders or at least heat sources(in a split brooder) for each group? Might help to put the cripple chick in with a fresh hatchling.

It didnt survive the night

Ahhh, bummer! but not surprising, late hatchers can have issues for sure.

Today #7, so I candled
Half of the Amerucana’s are clear.
Several of the Marans are definitely clears and 2/3 the rest are IFs.
So far Not happy with this bunch of eggs.

Merans are hard to see. I just opened one I thought had died recently right before hatching... I was wrong. Airing out my entire house now
