Here are the pics I promised. Sorry the glass has a glare and I believe there are 4 blues and a black. Am I right?

Looks like it could be 4 blues and a black. Your blues are darker than my blues. I ended up with 2 blues and 3 splash.

We ended up with a hatch of 27. Pulled the last ones out of the bator today. I think I am done for awhile I have 10 1 week jersey giants and 10 silkies 3day to 1week in one brooder,23 3 week olds in another brooder and 10 banties 3 weeks old in another brooder in my spare room in addition to the new ones. I also have 3 3 week old jersey giants in my utility room and I just put 23 5 week olds out in the grow out house. I have enough chicks for awhile. Of course when the sizzle polish eggs are shipped I'll start her up again lol heres a pic of the latest biddies

3 out of 4 of my granddaughters sizzle hatches she got 2 black and one little splash looks almost like a silkie

Out of 18 eggs set, I ended up with 7 healthy chicks. I had one that had some problems and had to be put down today

I removed the eggs from the incubator today and checked all of them. I had thought that high humidity throughout the incubation period would be a problem, but it seems that the air cell was pretty big. What surprised me is that ALL of the eggs were fertile, including 5 that had been in the fridge for 4+ days (one of these hatched, and one was the only one that died early on).. All but one developed close to hatching.
The LG got them to late development, so now I need to figure out what went wrong. For one, I think I may have messed up the temperature.. The sensor kept getting moved by the chicks that hatched, and thinking that the temp was really low, I turned it up, only to dicover the sensor in the corner.. There's a lot of variatiation in temp, so I'm thinking a fan would help... Or my other idea is to hatch in cartons so that the hatched chicks don't kick the other eggs to the edges where it's cooler.

I'm thinking about starting a new hatch with my Marans hen's eggs (bred to an Ameraucana).. I have a dozen saved up (some from the fridge!).. These were the ones I really wanted and I only got one chick from her.

I had 10 fridge eggs that had all developed pretty far. Then one got stepped on and the other 4 died late for some unknown reason
