Here's the gang so far! 2 more are pipped and eager to join them!

So cute!! What breeds are they a mix of?

Did you have to turn them manually in that type of incubator?

I'm really not sure - the two dark ones hatched out of white eggs that I got with the bators... I'm guessing BCM roo?!? But I'm completely clueless when it comes to this stuff. Oh, she had black cochins too, so that's another option with the furry feet...
And the lighter two are offspring of my purebred Ameraucana roo, but I've got 7 different hens who lay very similar eggs (Austrolorp, Buff Orpington, Chocolate Cuckoo...)

Even my maran egg pipped!!! What a little Hercules!

Awesome

I'm surprised that little cheap incubator worked, how many of those incubators did you buy and used? If you have more than 1, I would mark the incubator that worked... that way you will know which one will give you chicks!

I bought 7 for $100... I'm using two (both are working) and the rest I gave to mom friends who are also "homeschooling" I'm so anxious about those, and hope they have at least minimal success!! Good idea to mark them, although I highly doubt I'll ever use them again. They're INCREDIBLY hands on, and with 5 kids under 10, quarantine is the only time I'm around enough to deal with it

Does that wing look shrink wrapped?!? Her beak is fine, so do it just wait and see at this point? I just feel like it looks different than the others?

He was definitely stuck, leading to my first assisted hatch little one was sooo grateful!

6 eggs remaining... One externally pipped green egg, one internally pipped green egg, And the
these 4 that i could use opinions on (end of day 22):

one maran egg that i can't see through - considering a safety hole?

3 light brown eggs that decent looking air cells and had great movement up until day 20, but i haven't been able to see any since then?

I've seen your updated post - good luck with the assisted hatch. You're so lucky to have hatched so many in those cheap incubators!
