I ended up with 11 hatched out of 19. 2 died after pipping. I got 5 Cream Legbars, 1 Gold Brahma, 4 White Orpingtons and 1 Light Sussex. Here they are in their new digs.

well I left this morning at 6 AM to quebec just north of vermont ..I picked up 9 more chickens .
two ameraucanas,, canadian type .The ameraucans Seem the same as 20 years ago.ameraucana auracana mixed .
Also I picked up 7 chantaclerc chickens .
I just got back from the 8 hour ride to get them....

I woke up this morning and there was only 1 chick hatched and two more were peeping ..so that was 4 chicks doing their thing ..Hatching ..

I came back at 5 PM and there were 4 chicks and the two other eggs are quiet..
So far I have 4 chicks still in the hatching bator and waiting for the last two eggs to peep.
The chicks are lively and healthy.. I am really happy..new chicks and some new older chickens today..

Rambling on ,

Thats great Thomas! I managed to get 5 out of 7 to hatch. I think that is pretty good for my first try at hatching.

You mentioned Ameracauna/Aracuana chickens, I have two pullets that are this/these breed. They are not laying yet, very close I suspect. So, I can't wait til they do, blue eggs! So glad to hear you are getting plenty of chickens

Congrats on the hatch!
