Well, the RIRs finished up today about an hour ago...though I was told yesterday they might actually be a chicken called Red Comets instead...anyway, all six look good and healthy! One is not a RIR though, not sure what it is...it is black. The lady that gave me the eggs has one black hen, so I am sure that's whose egg that was. These are "working" hens whose sole purpose is providing the family with eggs, so they might not be purebreds. But they provide good hatching experience no matter what they are.
Pics are here! I tried to capture the beak that kept poking out of the hole in the one egg, but our guy in there got stage fright every time I went to snap the photo...and no, pay no attention to the temp on that thermometer, the temp on the Spot Check was at 99.5-99.8 the entire time. I was using that more for the humidity reading.
