Sorry to hear your feeling so bad skink. Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. Pippi is doing great. Just loves to be held, I ended up having to put regular size newborn chicks in with her. She's so bossy with them. I'm dealing with a dilemma with one of my newest babies. This...

You are correct there mightymax. I used to love those movies.

First baby pic. Had to give her a little wash. Shell was blocking her vent and she couldn't go potty. As soon as I got the shell and membrane unstuck and wrapped in a towel she pooped. Meet Pippi.

Well the chick that I have named Pippi is doing well she's got a little shell left covering her bottom. Can I dip her in so warm water and get it unstuck? She also has some dried membrane on her back too. She is so tiny and sweet and crawling all over the incubator.

Well the chick has hatched......but she has the round part of the shell stuck to her butt. I increased the humidity and put her in a wet paper towel. She's so active she's all over the incubator though dragging that shell along with her. Any ideas?

My little egg is still in the hatching phase. I will say that for an egg this small this baby has a huge beak. And loads of personality already. I go and check on her a lot give her mini pep talks and words of encouragement. When she hears my voice she gets real still then starts peeping so I...

What kind of ducks do you have darkbluespace?

OMG I had fallen asleep on the sofa. Got up to get in bed and heard a high pitch peep spun around ran towards the incubator and low and behold the 3rd serama egg that I thought died days ago is HATCHING!!! I almost peed my pants!

That's a good thing to remember. Well I left the eggs alone, I didn't do anything rash like throw them all away. So we will see tomorrow.

They might be then. Maybe I'm just worrying to much. It wasn't for more than two hours. I caught it fairly quick. I guess time will tell...

Well I am completely heartbroken. Somehow the thermostat fluctuated to 107 degrees and I believe I cooked my remaining serama egg and the 13 barnyard mixed eggs that I used as fillers. I candled the serama egg and I saw no movement. I am devastated.

Hatching should start tomorrow for my lone serama egg. I'm crossing fingers and toes and praying for a miracle for her. My anxiety is huge lol, the waiting is killing me!!

Thank you Kim. When I candled last night before I went to bed she was wiggling like crazy in her egg. So I think she will be my survivor hatchling.

Well my hatch isnt going so well. I believe I'm down to 1 survivor she went into lockdown this morning. So I'm crossing my fingers and praying hard she hatches ok on Sunday.

Congratulations on all of your fluffy chicks mightymax!!

Ok. Thank you, was starting to panic that I had made a wrong decision. How soon after hatching can I move the Serama chicks to their brooder? I have different set ups for both the big chicks and the Serama chicks.

Oops, sorry!! No, I start lockdown tomorrow. Tonight I candle for the last time. I am worried about something. I put some of my fertile layers eggs in to help keep the temperature and humidity balanced. I put them in the day after the Serama eggs were put in the incubator. Is the going to...

Today is day 16.

Thank you mightymax for your support. I am not an expert on serama eggs so don't quote me, but I had that happen with some bantam eggs I incubated. They peeped for a couple of hours, the egg shook and everything. They hadn't externally peeped either. But since serama eggs are so delicate to...

Of the three eggs that developed out of the four, only two will be making it to lockdown. The other one apparently stopped developing 8 or 9 days ago there is no movement at all.
