Who's incubating?!?

I started out with 19 eggs (14 Coronation Sussex and 5 barnyard mix) I am down to 11 eggs right now and have about 10 more days to go. I purchased the Coro eggs from an ebay seller, they had a rough time getting here. Lots of detached air cells, but no cracked eggs. This is my second try at hatching eggs. I had purchased 11 Coro eggs from the same ebay seller before this and two chicks made it to around day 16 then died, nobody hatched.
I have been reading a lot and learning all of the mistakes I made with the shipped eggs the first time, so this time I am more hopeful to have at least a couple eggs actually hatch. I want Coro's so bad!
I have had a lot of trouble with the LG 9300 incubator holding temp and humidity. So upset about this that I have decided to get a different incubator all together for future hatches

I'm running an LG 9200 still air one here. I just had a hatch of 6 out of 8 eggs hatching over here. They are all pure breeders Australorps, and I ended up with 2 blacks, and 4 splash ones. I have more eggs in there now, but they aren't due to hatch until Nov. 30th. That hatch will be of mixed breed... Mother a Naked Neck, and Dad a Blue Australorp.
 
Awesome! Best of luck to both of you! I have Australorps too, not hatching eggs but adult birds I love them! I am trying to get them, Speckled Sussex and Coronation Sussex as my breeds to share with the rest of Idaho. We will see how it goes.
 
Lockdown is tomorrow for three shipped duck eggs, a guinea and a few chickens. Some of the Muscovies don't seem to be doing well which isn't a big surprise to me due to circumstances and they aren't known for being the easiest to hatch. 18/22 of the other chicken eggs are developing nicely and are a week along today.

Three of the ones that aren't are from the same hen, I've not been able to hatch any of her eggs or even get them to start developing. So need to look into that more.
