Hello, all I have only tired one time before to incubate last month and that was a huge failure , so I started with a batch of mixed eggs on the 13th of this month I completely forgot to ask what breeds they had , I have a few questions #1 can you tell breed from egg colors? #2 should I worry about this one thats has a hole ? So far I'm on day 8 and everything is going well I can see growth in 19 out of 24 some are way too dark to

see in. Any advise will be greatly appreciated... Thank yall soooooo much.

The darkest eggs are possibly Black Copper Marans. The green eggs are probably Easter eggers. The lighter brown can be a number of different breeds, but RIR are a common breed of chickens that peeps keep. The cream whitish ones are also many different possibilities.
The cracked egg with hole is not likely to make it. If you keep checking, (candling) and it is still alive,,, then just keep it in.
WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
