Looks like a girl to me.

we're hoping cause if it's a girl we get to keep it. if it's a rooster it's going to replace my moms rooster because my dad brother and nephew have been attacked by the rooster i gave them already. It's funny i go out there pick up the rooster kiss it on the head and baby talk him and then put him down and he cocks his head to the side at me like "what is wrong with you" They all run from him and he attacks them. Hmmm wonder if it's simply because they fear him.
anyway i'm hoping it's a girl because it looks to be a marran barred rock mix. excited about that.

Locking down 24 mixes from my laying hens today. This is one of my last mix hatches. Going to concentrate on my Ameraucanas. Well maybe some EE and OE

hmmm to toss the egg or not to toss it. I had 6 eggs in the incubator. 2 weren't fertile and have been thrown out. Then i noticed one of the 4 that are left has it where the veins in the egg move way to easily if i turn the egg. Should I toss it or give it more time to see what it does? They've been in 8 days and are more developed then any of my eggs have ever been at 8 days. The temp has been a steady 99.5 Not sure why they are developing so fast. Usually i can't see much til day 10. but these look like a typical day 10 at day 8.
I plan to stop turning them on day 14 instead of day 18 then raise humidity on day 18. I'm trying new things to see what gets the best result.

I never toss any the 1st time I candle & suspect a problem unless they stink or are leaking. Sometimes they surprise you.

I have Rainbows set in 3 different bators right now. Due to temp fluctuations in the bators (probably due to temp flux in the house) 2 bators full look iffy right now. Bator 1 has delayed development & appears to be several days behind schedule & Bator 2 has several bloodrings. I have left everything in except the obvious clears. Never know. Bator 3 was just set on Monday, so not much to see there yet. I can say that out of 80 eggs set from the Rainbows I have only had 1-2 that have failed to at least start so fertility is nearly 100%.

In lock down mode, day 21 is Sunday. Collecting BLRW eggs for next hatch, set on Sunday or Monday.

It sound like you are on your way to one of those nail biting delayed hatches. We are here for you in spirit!

well I took out the clear eggs plus the one that had floating veins. It was a large/long egg probably not smart to have started it to begin with. It was single yoke but looked like it would have developed two chicks. I'm glad i removed it. I have never successfully incubated an egg with two chicks in it.
