My last Serama needed help this morning, had itself half out, pushing and crying hard, but it was stuck. Popped it out and transferred the other two in with the first 3, took 2 1/2 days to get everyone out.
But all 6 that went into lockdown hatched! Not bad with shipped eggs! Everything that...
Well I have 5 of 6 Serama out zooming around, #6 is taking it's time. Some neat colors! No idea how they'll turn out, but they sure are tiny! Need to get photos tomorrow before they start sprouting feathers too.

I candled at day 4 or...
Well this seems to be the closest group to my due date! I have 10 Serama eggs for the 17th, and 2 tester duck duck eggs for the 22nd. Maybe the ducklings will be my consolation prize if nothing from the shipped eggs hatch. I usually get something from every batch, but this is my first time with...
