March Hatch A Long... anyone with me??

I had 18 out of 29 OE babies hatch the other day from a fellow BYC and then a couple days ago I had my most awesome hatch ever. I went and picked up 32 BBS Ameraucana eggs from a gentleman with some really nice birds.Out of the 32/ 29 formed and 28 hatched.YAY!!! Now I've got a few BR and BO in the hatcher with some Jumbo Brown Coturnix popping out..

First pip last night a 8, and that chick was the first to hatch at 7:20 this am. Have 2 other chicks out. Lots have pipped.
2 fuzzy chicks and a gameX

......must sit on hands.........(face against the bator)*fogging up the window* ugh.....
 
We have 10 chicks out this morning with more hatching! All ameraucana/easter egger and olive eggers

UPDATE: there are now 15 and they are playing soccer with the other eggs, had to remove them from the bator. Thank goodness I could do it without openning the whole thing. One of the windows pops out easily. We had 22 hatch out Sunday

40 due the 1st =34 hatched 85%
38 due the 6th =32 hatched 85%
31 due the 13th = 22 hatched 71%
38 due the 16(temp spiked courtesy of the cats to 110) 20 hatched so far, thought the whole thing was a loss since it happened so late in the incubation.
42 due the 21st

oh no... hope it was early in your hatching... I had the same prob, spkie to 110...so, i don't think anything is going to come of these eggs, but i've got them in lock down b/c they're Maran eggs and I can't see in them... so, you never know...
good hatching vibes to ya...

they are due to hatch on March 25th so it wasn't all that early. The humidity has been all over the place and the temp has been all over the place the whole time.
It is put out by fall harvest products but i think it is really just an LG, it looks just like them.
Since it is circulated air, I may just use it as a hatcher and leave the incubating up to my reliable hovabator.
