Well since I am using both Jan threads pg 58 is a pic of the little guy. Now if there was a guaranteed way to figure out if it is a pure Faverolle or Faverolle BO mix. It has the 5 toes and feather legs.

Oooohhh!!! I hope your other eggs hatch out ok!! Please please please keep the bator closed to preserve the humidity level... as for the chick, he/she will be just fine.. Just leave it alone and it will close up nicely...

Not sure if it's a mix or not but definitely a cutie!!!

Only time I opened it was a quick snatch because I saw blood under the chick. I had the chick out long enough to check it out, take a pic and put it back with a rag under it. Bater never dropped in temp or humidity. I took the pics through the viewer on top with my phone.

Finaly broke down last night and candled my eggs. I would not have believed that I could see into the maran eggs, but by holding the light at the top of the egg I was able to see the air sack and if there was a mass below it.

Results:
Marans, started with 25 had 6 that had no growth, unsure about 5, 19 that looked really good.
EEs, started with 8 (4 fresh and 4 from the fridge) all 8 seem to look good. Although 1 was REALLY hard to see into.
BOs, started with 7, had 2 with no growth and the other 5 looked really good.

So started with 40 now have 32. I hope to get a really good hatch this time.

On another topic I have several hens that are trying to go broody on me. I am planning tonight to give one of them 12 eggs that are CCMaran over Bardrock crosses. And on thursday plan on putting a second hen on 12 more maran eggs.

We're out of this hatch. All three of our eggs died.
