Little hard little hopeful

Out of my mixed batch one of my chicks hatched today from 7/4. We are so excited to hatch our first chick on our own but it meant having to acknowledge that chicky from 7/2 will not hatch. I've known for a couple days I think because I saw the membranes separating when candling but the kids wouldn't let me remove it. I finally was able to remove it today because they were so happy to see the new chicky when suddenly appeared in the incubator. She's definitely lonely so I'm crossing my fingers that my 7/5 chicky will hatch because she definitely needs a sister. Thank you everyone for all the advice and guidance on my rocky path to become a fowler!

I'm almost positive we'll have another hatch tomorrow and another in two days. It's a mixed hatch because I'm a newb but somehow it's working and I just feel like maybe I've had a strong surge of luck to encourage me.
