Hi! I know what you are going through with your Seramas. They are the scratching moguls of chickens. I got real tired of wasting feed so went looking online for a feeder that would stop them. Here is a picture of of the my inside winter cages for the Seramas and the feeder I made. Works like a charm....not WASTE. You can see how I put it together on the "Inventor" thread. Hope this helps you.

Seramas are very finicky and are hard to incubate. It's not your fault

So on the feeder do you just fill it up with food and they are able to get it through the pipe? I use the water nipples on buckets or bottles and that works good for their water but their food...ugh!

The temo flucates due to room temo and it goes from 80-100 shouldnt they stilk grow? I mean momma gets off them for sometimes hours (atleast my hens) and they still grow and hatch

Like I said seramas are very hard to hatch. Sometimes they just don't haych

Serama eggs can be super hard in my experience. I've found that using a high quality incubator makes all the difference. I used Brinsea and R-com and get almost 100% hatch rate.
