My first clutch of MY EGGS!! Pics

My middle son's teacher has an incubator, and I asked him to hatch a clutch of eggs from MY CHICKENS for me! 30 total.
They started HATCHING yesterday!!!
There were 7 of them at 4:30 last night when I left school, and 11 hatched through the night!! This morning the count was at 19, one dead in it's shell... (almost got itself out, but didn't make it) Hoping to be able to go get them all tomorrow!! It was so exciting to have my very own fertile eggs hatched, and try to figure out which momma's they have!!

Oh how cute!! It will be fun for you to ID them. How many potential mamas are there?

I have 9 laying hens, but I purposely started a clutch while some of them weren't laying (because of winter) thinking that I'd get stock from my best layers that way. SO there are about 5 potential mommas. So far, I know the mother of three, and can only guess at the others. lol All of my chickens are mutts except for two, so that will throw things off a little. I know none of the momma's are my Ameracauna!! lol She stopped laying early on this winter, and we didn't have a green egg to hatch.
