Peeps in Europe!

Are those bantam Vorwerk? The ones with the orange head?

Yes, those are Vorwerks. The ones with the eyeliner are Dutch and I have 1 hatched yellow Sussex chick, and one that peeped a big hole (and alive) .

One egg was rotten. That makes min 8 and max 10 chicks from 11 eggs.

I discovered that the yellow chick is not Sussex, but probably a pyle Dutch.
Yesterday the last egg hatched with a second red Sussex.

I made a thread about a month ago about the whole proces.

Oh now I wasn't checking for a few weeks and everyone has new chicks . Congrats to you all and the nice little fluffy balls .
We finally got our own broody she is sitting on 13 eggs since Friday evening... She does a great job so far. Before we gave her the real eggs she was already sitting for three days on fake ones... She is getting up on herself, pooping, drinking, eating..., she even managed the move to the brooder (she couldn't stay in the usual nesting box, the other hens where simply laying on top of her, because she was - of course - sitting in the most favorite box). It's all running like it is in the textbook so far, so cross your fingers . That's the whole reason I'm writing actually... For you to cross your fingers . (Well and I had to tell someone or I would blast with excitement )

Yes they are a really cute bunch. Only informed you wrong. The yellow chick must be some kind of light coloured Dutch. I don’t have light Sussex but red speckled Sussex.

It's fine, don't worry about it, they're still adorable! The vorwerks especially interest me, though I don't know if I'd ever keep them myself. Good luck!
