The chicks are temporarily in the living room and the incubator is in my room…the chick looks like it was yellow with some black or maybe would’ve turned out mottled
Thank you..I used the first link and put a safety hole then decided to open the air cell..the chick was very dry and has been dead for at least a few days. Eye sockets but no eyes and yolk almost all absorbed except for a small amount that didn’t smell too good…sorry if this tmi but at least I...
Since I’m working all weekend and starting full time school after that, I decided to do eggstopsies. I won’t say how many yet but was shocked to hear a chirp. Considering today would be day 27 for the serama eggs, this could mean one of the following:

I ordered button quail eggs (when she used to sell them) from Breezy Bird Farms in Rosenort, Manitoba in 2020 and most of them hatched. They were sent fast and packed well. Her website is amazing and I still have a $5 off coupon from her..Hope it doesn't expire as I'd like...
By the way I forgot to mention...I have had chicks die shrink wrapped in the shell with other bantams when I was living in Arizona where the climate was already dry. I still had 16 chicks from that hatch out of about 20 eggs but the others I do remember them being shrink wrapped so I would...
I forgot to mention the 40% humidity did make me a little nervous until I read online that seramas can hatch at 40-50% humidity. But I also read of others using the dry hatch method until lockdown then increasing to 65% which is what I always did when hatching other bantams. I had put a sponge...

Well my experiment with 7 eggs under a bantam cochin and 7 in the incubator hasn't gone that well with the broody eggs. I won't be giving a broody hatching eggs in March again. We fluctuate between freezing and melting temperatures so the coop is muddy and so were all the eggs that she had...
My grandma on my dad’s side had 7 kids and 17 grandchildren. 1 great grandchild (my son) that she got to meet. And another great grandson born after she passed.
Getting the 14 serama eggs Saturday. There won’t be a snow storm so looks like we’ll be able to take the 1.5 hour road trip to get...
I was going to get 14 serama eggs from about an hour and a half away on my last weekend off last Saturday but my husband said there would be a snowstorm so we delayed it to my next weekend off on the 18th. Just realized from this thread that they'll hatch around Easter. One of my OEGB hens was...
