Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

well we woke up to peeping in the bator, just not the bator we were expecting. had a batch of eggs that got mislabeled they were marked 3-3 but when we candled to go into lockdown they didn't look far enough along so we thought maybe we forgot a 1 and they were suposed to be 3-13??? nope they are hatching today 3-7???
we had 2 in the bottom of the cabinet incubator and 2 more hanging out in the turners with a 5th one zipped and stuck goofy birds. we did manage to fit the rest of those eggs in the nr360 with the duck eggs that were due yesterday.... oh and they are finally making external pips!
on the upside 4 of the 5 that were running around are Necked necks. the other one is a full feathered black chick

Happy birthday to both of my splash Marans babies! 🥰 I'm so in love.

At least 2 more in this bator are pipped, but it's hard to see (one BCM and one salmon faverolles). These two bumped the BCM pip and it rolled...trying not to be concerned about that.

Two are pipped downstairs, but taking their time.

I know there are lots of more well-known Marans breeders, but I got mine from Northwoods Poultry. It probably helped that I'm close enough to pick them up, but just thought I'd mention it! Her facilities are so clean and her birds are beautiful. She doesnt necessarily breed for egg color, though.
 
Who's that?
Another backyardchicken person. Magicman1623 He did an egg swap for seeds/plants. I know someone in the feb hatchalong said they were gettings eggs from him too but can't remember who. My shipped eggs (10 going, including 4 marans I'm not sure on) are from him. They are supposed to hatch in 6 days so I was wondering if anyone had some hatch already so I could see what they might look like. It's a backyard mix.
