Kiki's found horse eggs—experiment Round 2

[Kiki]

I just ordered 12 hatching eggs today, and was hoping for a broody. Now I'm starting to remember how nerve-racking the whole thing can be.

What breed did you order?

I have been sitting in a chicken coop for 12 hours. LOL Took a few pics, will take more when they are out and about and you can see more than 1 at a time poking it's head from under Mom.

What breed did you order?

8 orpingtons of assorted colors and 4 marans, but waiting to see exactly what colors I get.

The breeder is really into crossing to get unusual color patterns. I like a colorful flock, so I'm interested to see what all hatches out.

I hold her close, and she rests her head on my shoulder, and Purrs like a kitten... so cute!

Hi, everyone, as everyone thought, the 2 eggs that had pipped last night hatched during the night, bring the total for this hatch with 2 broodies to 2 Blue coppers, 6 black coppers, and either a wheaten or lavender!! 1 had pipped and was left in the nest this morning, so this one is on my bed watching TV under a sheet with wet paper towel and heating pad wrapped loosely around, we are using a candy thermometer and it says it's about 98 to 100 F near the egg (someone correct me if I am doing some thing wrong, please) Chick is moving peeping and starting to zip, so will continue to chick sit again today. Oh and yes I did place neosporin with NO LIDOCAINE Chick has zipped some more since I started this post.
ETA: if this guy makes it, that will be 10 chicks hatched out of 14 after the musical hen game. LOL

tried to take pics of large hatch under Miss Badness, but they all ran under Mom, will try again later, right now it is more important to me to see if I can help this little guy live, than taking pictures of what I have, I can always take pictures.
