The two times that i tried to hatch Serama eggs - well they were shipped ones sadly did not prove very fruitful - i got nothing . But hopefully someone else can chime in regards humidity or anythign special or different they do?
My first batch of Serama eggs did not hatch at all, but then I came in here and I heard that if you take out the plastic tray in the bottom and fill it up to the wire base, it would help. Well I did that and kept the temp at 100 and turned them everyday several times a day and the next hatch I had 5 out 8. BUT because the wire will sink due to weight of the eggs, I put plastic under the eggs to keep them dry, i think a plastic bag would do the trick. You definitely do not want them to get wet. Also these tend to be late hatchers, atleast they were for me, so don't worry if they don't hatch by the first or second day. When they do hatch, they are extremely tiny, leave them in until they are completely dry. I would get the brooder ready before hand so it's nice and toasty when you put them in it. I also bought a quail waterer to prevent any drowning and it is perfect. Make sure they have vitamins and medicated food, also I'd put in some apple cider vinegar to prevent pasty butt. I have only really had problems with my Seramas with that. That's all the advice I have. Hope it helps.
