Sound good i wouldnt worry a whole lot about the humidity just yet. Check the air cells when you candle. I would kick on the turner tomorrow though

ok, I will do it before i go to bed.

I dont want to keep playing with the humidity because its just going up then right back down. that cant be good either. dry hatch i guess

I went to the coop this morning to find my 5 broody hens have hatched at least 3 chicks. My roo tried attacking me when I opened the door...they all seem very protective but this is the first time I have had serama chicks.... Should I leave them with the flock or take them out to a brooder?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

you have 5 hens and one roo in the same cage? if that is the case i think i would pull them . at some point they are going to get stepped on or thrown around . if one happens to be a roo then daddy could turn on it. I know some people keep there couples together and let them raise them but this sounds like a chance to me. If you want mama to raise them you can pull her out with the chicks, if not i would do the brooder. ( just my opinion )

I separate the broody hens. I've only had one broody Serama so far, though. I thought I had a second one, but she only stayed broody for two or three days.

I think I am going to pull them, all 5 hens have been sitting on the eggs nonstop the past two weeks(I don't see them move, but they have not starved so they must go out and eat when I am not around), I can't really tell who is "mama" to who, I have considered just moving the roo to another coop for a while.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

just pull the babies and the mamas should finish the hatch. takes around 20 days for them give or take a day.
