    American serama thread!

    Well, today’s day 5 and I had to take a little peak at the eggs and candle them when I turned them. Out of 16; 5 are clear, 3 maybe blood rings maybe babies, and 8 developing strong! I’ll candle again on day 7 to track air cells but yay! Hope I get at least 2 to hatch

    American serama thread!

    I ordered 12 eggs from Austin Hart through ebay and he sent 16!! They were packaged amazingly, none were broken, and they're currently on day 3 of incubation. I let them rest 24 hours before setting them and didn't turn the first two days, but today I started turning them by hand. It's taking...

    American serama thread!

    Thank you! I’m in Arizona so it’s very dry. When the incubators running and I haven’t added water it stays at 16%. I’ll watch the aircells and gauge how much water to add based on that. I’m so eggcited for these eggs, they’re from Austin Hart and the parent stock is beautiful! Fingers crossed...

    American serama thread!

    What are everyone's hatching methods? Specifically, what percentage of humidity does everyone use? I'm bidding on some eggs from some beautiful Seramas to bring new blood into my line but I've never incubated Serama eggs. I've only incubated eggs once before but that was a horrible experience as...

    Silkie thread!

    Sorry to high jack the thread a bit but I'm now the proud mamma of two beautiful splash Silkie chicks. Out of a horrendous hatch with a very bad local breeder I managed to get these two lovelies to hatch yesterday. The local breeder that I bought 2 dozen eggs from sold me extremely old eggs that...

    Breeder sent old/infertile eggs, what should I say?

    Depending on how many of the second batch of eggs are infertile I may ask for my money back. Also the fact that she sent eggs so old stinks, you'd think that someone who's been doing this for a while wouldn't send out bad eggs but you never know I guess. I messaged her on Wednesday about the...

    Breeder sent old/infertile eggs, what should I say?

    Yea I'm thinking I might ask for my money back, I just don't want to cause drama or make bad blood

    Breeder sent old/infertile eggs, what should I say?

    I ordered two dozen eggs from a local breeder here in Arizona and its turned out to be kind of a disaster. Firstly, I'm 15 and have been saving my money to be able to afford this breeders eggs, they are $50 a dozen and I bought two dozen. I may be young but I've been raising chickens for years...
