Chickengarden what breeds are each color you mentioned in your photos?

Oh oh  i added  lots  of water b/c the little guy is pipping and the humidity was 68 when i got up.My humidity is  now 81 !!.
What do i do to lower  it if it gets higher?crack the bator lid?
Dont want to drowned whoever is in the other shells Idid open the other last plug well a self made plug where the straw goes into i took  the straw  out...Hope to not drowned this guy b/c isnt peeping either so getting air or not yet ? .... or just zipping so wonder if hes in the air sac or out of it zipping? So many questions..Gues he is getting air from the pip?I have a photio have to put it up but oth my camera batteris and my cellwent dead. (Nice timing.) at least went dead AFTER itook one pic with both. Geez i know so little about this hatch thing.
Anybody know what to about the humidity...?Forgot  but guess it will go up more b/c of the pipping and zipping.

They are all silkies i ant wait to see how they chane in a week... Sime have already changed... We plan to keep our 1st one to hatch cause she is truely attached to me .... She crys for me and follows me its the cutest thing. The others could care less... Lol but we had planned to keep 2 1 silkie and one shwgirl buth both shwgirls are blk/ drk blue and we allready have those colors in our flock lol we want some variety. So husband said after the duck eggs he wants to buy more shwgirl/silkie eggs lol i think he even liked the whole hatching experience. But we are gonna keep the others til they are off the heat lamp 1 -2wks (with the way our temps are)....

I have baby pictures! The one that wasn't doing well died today :/ Our hatch rate was actually really good. We had 2 blood rings, and one that hasn't hatched yet and other than that everyone hatched.

I have the Jersey that I had to help hatch wrapped in a rag now. She's not doing well. I know I'm going to lose her. It's just a matter of time now. Such dramatic change from the progress she was making yesterday.

She's still barely hanging on. I've got her wrapped in a rag on a heating pad that is covered (so it won't be too hot) & set on low. She's hardly moving. I've tried to give her sugar water with vitamins and electolytes, but she gags and bubbles. I don't have the heart to cull. Comfort is the only thing I have to offer. My son & I have been swapping off holding her and keeping her company. I'll try some honey in the water. I can only put a drop be side her beak. I can tell she wants to drink, but she can't. She has no control of her neck muscles & is just weak in general.
