It was still alive when I left for work this afternoon! It's pushed it's beak through the inner / exposed membrane and is breathing on it's own. I hope it continues to do well!

I put it back in the incubator on a wet paper towel and poured a ton of warm water in there so the humidity is like 75%. It's on day 23. I've been looking at it every 5 minutes because I am insane and can't help it and it's still moving so I guess we'll see what happens! Two more seramas hatched...

Here's a picture: (After I put a drop of water on the membrane)

Well, I did something REALLY dumb. So one more Serama hatched this morning and there haven't been any more pips in any of the remaining eggs. When I got home from work (now) I decided to investigate and I started taking the remaining eggs out one by one to gently chip a little hole to see if...

Great news!! I've had 7 chicks hatch so far! Looks like another 3 for sure tonight as well. I ended up helping the malpositioned chick out of his shell after letting him tough it out for 24 hours. Here are pics of the seramas so far

SO I have three pips in my serama eggs now! Coincidentally (?) they are all pretty much next to each other. No progress on the first two since I noticed them this morning but this new one is at the wrong end! I am going to keep a close eye on it. Anyone have any experience with chicks pipping at...

I have good news!!! I have one external pip on a little Serama egg I swore was wiggling yesterday! Hopefully a few more will follow soon!

As far as I know my incubator doesn't have any sort of cooling cycle? I've never read anything about it in the manual. It seems to just be broken all together. So far no evidence of hatching today (day 20), no peeps internal or external. I'd feel alot better if I knew they were okay in there!

I am officially the token member in the thread with awful luck. There is something wrong with my trusty Brinsea incubator. The fan is working but the light that blinks/remains constant when the heat is running is blinking erratically or not on at all. I think it means the heater in my incubator...

Okay, so when I left the house my incubator was reading 99 and 63%. My boyfriend just called me and the incubator was reading 88 (brinsea stick thermometer 93) and 64%. How is this possible?? Nothing has changed, incubator wasn't unplugged and the top was on securely. Are these little dips in...

So, I am on day 19 now of lockdown. My humidity was a tiny bit low this morning so I cracked the incubator open and sprayed some water in there (maybe a bit too much) and the humidity jumped to 90% so I opened the vent all of the way and now the temp is too low (95) because of how cold my house...

Today is day 18 for my silkies and seramas! I candled and put them all into lockdown this AM. I've had a little difficulty with my humidity but I'm hoping everything will go as planned. I have 25 eggs remaining out of the 31 I set. Here's a day 18 silkie with what I hope/think is the eyeball...

Hi Everyone! I set 31 eggs last week, a mix of silkies and seramas. I am mostly interested in the seramas, I bought them on ebay and then bought the silkies as an insurance policy in case I only had like, one serama chick hatch since they are notoriously so difficult. Turns out though that I'm...
