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 little external pip on a tiny serama egg that I swore I saw wiggling yesterday night! Hopefully the rest or even a few more will follow!

Thanks for all of your kind words everyone. It's day 20 and I haven't seen or heard any evidence that the eggs are doing okay and will hatch. I'd feel a lot better if there were some internal or external pips! I'm trying to be patient. Today has been a little trickier. Temps have ranged from...

Well, 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...

Thank you!! That is very comforting to read, from both of you. I read in another thread a member had a power outage on day 20 and she got down to the 70's for about 4 hours and she still had a great hatch. My boyfriend left the house and it was 93 degrees and when he came back two hours later it...

Help! I am on day 19 today and this morning my humidity was a bit low so I cracked open the incubator and sprayed (maybe a bit too much) water inside which shot the humidity up to 90%. I opened the vent a bit more and the temp lowered to 90. I turned up the incubator a bit and when I left it was...

Hi Everyone! I candled my eggs for the first time the other night on Day 7. I am SO pleased to report that all of my serama eggs (except maybe 1) appear to be developing well! Not having such great luck with the silkies but that's okay. I tossed 6 of the silkie eggs that weren't developing and...

Well, I'm off to a rough start. I calibrated my hygrometer last night and it's off by 13%! So that explains a lot. Any tips on where I can get a new good digital one fast? I checked Walmart last night and their selection wasn't ideal.

So I set my eggs yesterday and managed to squeeze 31 in my incubator. 4 of the silkie eggs cracked pretty badly when i was trying to place them inbetween the bars brinsea gives you to place them upright. I've never had that happen before, their shells must be really weak. It's okay though...

Thanks! I just received my eggs this morning - 14 Serama and 21 (!) Silkies! My incubator is going to be so full! I have them all set out, fat end up and I will candle them tonight when I get home from work. Depending on how the air cells look then I will decide how long to let them sit out for...

This is perfect timing as I am going to set 12+ Serama eggs at the end of the week! I have a Brinsea octagon and have overall been really happy with it. This time I'm keeping the incubator near the heater in my house to help it regulate temps (I'm in upstate NY and it's COLD!) and I'm keeping...
