Set eggs Feb 17th anyone else?

My hatch ended with four chicks out of the five that made it to lockdown! so, 80% hatch rate? or do I count the two infertile eggs found from day 7?
Anyway, I have 2 brahmas, 1 light-colored brahma (or a whats-it mix) and 1 polish!
 
Sunday evening
Day went fast with the change of time.
Currently have 12 hatched and more working their way out.
It will be a busy night.
I think they hatched a little earlier due to the fact that the temp was near a 100 degrees.
 
I set 12 eggs on the 19th and I have one pipping now and another cheeping and rocking back and forth. I hope I have a good hatch rate! This is my first try and I'd be heart broken if my eggs didn't hatch (or at least give me a few healthy chicks).
 
That light-colored in the 2nd and 3rd picture looks like one of the bantam Brahma's I hatched. Its that one a Brahma also? I don't have any cochins, but I have this one weird light-colored brahma chick, and I have a feeling he's a rooster...
 
No I do not have any Brahmas, They are all Bantam Cochins. Are your Bantam Brahmas Buff Colored?

I have my silkies and mix eggs hatched and 4 Ameraucanas but I had to cull 1 tonight because it had an injury to its eye and it was sickly from hatch it hadn't eaten since hatching and I couldn';t get it to take water from a dropper so I thought it was the most humane thing to do, I don't know if it was the lethal gene or what happened but I lost all of the araucana. Knowing my luck all 8 of them had the double lethal gene, I seem to just have luck that way. I lost all of my shipped silkie eggs so why not loose my araucanas to..... LOL
