Do you breed your own? Pics of eggs they hatched from? Any pics of the parents??

We hatched these from shipped eggs (eBay auction from Greenfire Farms). The hope is that we will breed them.

We were super happy with the hatch rate. Here are a few pics of the gangly teens. It was eggs from three marans pens. We ended up hatching 5 BCM and 2 white marans. I'm pretty sure the BCM hatched from two different groups although by the time I was sorting shells and looking for the identifying numbers I wasn't sure. The WM I'm pretty sure are both hens. Three of the five BCM are trending roo.
