FINALLY getting a good hatch! I believe I had the humidity too high prior and drowning the chicks? I was maintaining it around 65% prior and now maintaining 55%. So far 16 of the 21 Orpington eggs has hatched! The pen was supposedly composed of lavender Roos and hens with one lemon cuckoo roo and hen in the pen. Based off of the hatch, I believe the lemon roo was a busy boy! 3 lavender type, 11 buff colored, and 2 dark brown! I'm excited about the brownish ones and curious to see what color they turn out. One egg is currently pipped and done see anything on the other 4. Anyways, here they are. If Vickichicki approves, the lavender colored will be going to her.

can i feed my baby chicken (6 weeks old) oyster grit?

I would not. Extra Calcium is not good for them according to everything I have read

And to Chic-n-farmer, no we didn't use pennies as washers. We used fender washers, they are about as large around as quarters. Had to attach the window wiring as predator proof as we can. This internet thing is an awesome way to learn from others' mistakes. No disrespect to others who have made mis-steps, but we try to learn.
