Oops, sorry! One of Cruella's eggs must've hatched early

My borrowed rooster didn't romance any hens. I did see the hens brush up against him.

How long do you have him for?

2 babies out so far and 5-6 more pips. About 6 hrs into day 20

3 babies out.

Ready look at this egg the first baby hatched from..... It took me a min to figure out where it came from since this is the egg AFTER it hatched!

A couple of baby pics. And the pip with the little beak sticking out. Lol

Looove all the baby pics
How are ducklings so cute?!

Today is “Day 7” for my eggs so I candled and to my surprise, two are wayyy more developed. I’m thinking they are around day 14 or more. Not sure what to do since I only have my tiny brinsea incubator :0 any advice?! It would be a staggered hatch but would I need to up the humidity and stop turning all the eggs on what I’m guessing would be the lockdown day? Or should I just let them ride it out?
There’s 7 eggs total- 2 much more developed, 4 at seven days, and one is clear.

It's day 7 for me as well, hoping broody mama gets up to eat soon!

I have a dozen eggs due monday June 5th!.. 10 shipped eggs and 2 of my own! Some of the shipped eggs I really cannot see in but after the smell test last night, none stink so o think they are all good for right now! One of the darker eggs looked like the air cell might be on the wrong side of the egg bit so hard to tell for sure.. worried about that one but super excited about new blood in my flock!!! So excited to see what colors they may be EE, OE, F2 and F3 OE, BCM, WTB, orpingtons... can you say excited?? Lol
